I was a bit nervous about dinner. It was odd that he was calling us to dinner like this. Tsuneo, thankfully, seemed oblivious to my sudden unease.
"Thank you, Captain, he replied, his voice smooth. We will be there shortly."
He gave a curt nod and disappeared down the hallway. Left alone, I looked up at Tsuneo, apprehension clouding my joy.
"Everything alright, Morgan?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.
"It's just..." I hesitated, struggling to find the words. "Is everything alright, you think?"
Tsuneo's lips curved into a reassuring smile. "Don't worry," he said, his voice calm. "It's just dinner."
Taking a deep breath, I forced a smile. He knew more about court politics than I did.
With a nervous flutter in my stomach, I allowed Tsuneo to lead me down the hallway. Relief washed over me as we entered the familiar haven of his chambers. The whirlwind of the day, the joy of returning with Tsuneo, and the looming uncertainty of the king's dinner had left me emotionally drained.
