The two of them exchanged a quick glance, their eyes filled with unspoken understanding, before turning on their heels and hurrying away.
Their footsteps, though hurried, were careful, as if they feared making too much noise.
Shoulders slightly hunched, they moved swiftly, their bodies tense with urgency.
Gon smiled in quiet amusement as he watched them scurry away, their hurried movements almost entertaining to him.
He let out a small breath, shaking his head slightly before turning his gaze toward the empty room around him.
Now alone, the silence settled in, pressing against him like a gentle but persistent reminder.
His amusement faded as his mind shifted to more pressing matters.
Then, as if a distant bell had rung in his head, he suddenly remembered, he had to go see the Duke.
His expression grew thoughtful, and with a slight nod to himself, he straightened his posture. There was no time to waste.
