Royal Palace, the King's chamber.
At the break of a new day, Liyadella, accompanied by her knight Shanai, arrived here to pay respects to her father. Their relationship was quite good, and they enjoyed conversing with each other. Even with Aridia and Shanai present, it didn't affect their discussion.
However, for some reason, both father and daughter seemed somewhat distracted today.
Shanai couldn't help but say,
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, you both seem a little lethargic. Did you not sleep well last night?"
Shanai expressed her concern with a hint of worry.
Anxi and Liya did not find Shanai's question abrupt.
But…
"Do we seem lethargic? Father?"
Liyadella appeared puzzled.
"We do feel a bit listless," Anxi responded, turning to Aridia as if sensing something, "What do you think, Aridia?"
Upon hearing this, Aridia responded calmly,
"Your Majesty indeed looks a bit lethargic, and so does Lady Liya."
The straightforward knight answered truthfully.
