An Extra’s POV

Once the meeting was concluded, Kara was left alone with Ralyks—considering how they would be working together from that moment on.

The Dark Adventurer transported both of them away to a location unknown to anyone else, most likely to kickstart their investigation.

The two had somewhat exchanged brief pleasantries during the entire meeting, but now that it was over, it was all business.

… Or so the Royal Council members thought.

"You did a good job playing along, Kara. You have nice acting skills."

Rey was currently opposite Kara, standing right outside the Safehouse where she and the other key players were occupying before the promised day.

She smiled, probably blushing a little, as she curtsied and bowed her head slightly.

"I appreciate your compliments, Sir Ralyks."

Rey felt very weird having a really pretty girl like Kara address him in such a way, but he had come too far to break character now.

He simply nodded nonchalantly and shrugged without any sort of energy attached to it.

"I guess you can go in now. Rebal and Asher should be waiting inside."

"Would you like to come in? We could prepare something for you and show some hospitality." Kara swiftly added, showing even more emotion and energy than Rey remembered.

It almost felt like she was over enthusiastic to please him.

'Did Rebal and Asher fill her head with stories about me? That's probably what happened.' Rey sighed internally.

"There's no need. I have other matters to take care of."

This was a lie.

Rey had already taken care of everything he needed to. He already had the coordinates to the Merchant City, and he was able to get there the previous night. He had also sorted through what he considered to be his own plans.

Everything was pretty much set on his end.

"Have all preparations been made on your end?"

"Yes, Sir Ralyks. The venue of the event has been identified, and we have also made all travel preparations."
