"I trust you."
Kael spoke as he looked into the Princess's eyes.
Those words were meaningful, especially when they came from someone like Kael's mouth. After all, when he initially came here, Kael was the incarnation of paranoia.
He doubted everyone he could, even considering the most absurd cases. Heck, he even doubted Elira and Arlan, his two closest friends in this world.
So when someone like him said words like 'I trust you', they became a lot more meaningful than they normally are.
And Lavinia knew it.
She had heard his story, she knew what Kael had been through, she knew what his thoughts were like,
So she indeed understood the weight of those words.
"Thank you."
Therefore, the Princess smiled gratefully.
And while her mind continued to make future plans, her heart made sure she never forgot her initial goal.
As for what her plan was and when she was going to let Kael in…
The Princess decided to wait for a while.
