"How's the Princess?" Bartos asked Jayra when the latter stood up from her side of the bed after checking on the Princess. Princess Xenia had lost consciousness during the burial rites, and by virtue of being the closest at the scene, he was the one who carried her and put her on the bed.

Jayra looked at him and Gideon. She let out a sigh before she said, "She's just in shock. Among the siblings, she and Prince Ezekiel were the closest to Seer Beirut.

"As such, Seer Beirut would often monitor the princess more than her siblings."

Gideon nodded, "I see. Let's just have her rest in the meantime. I'm sure Princess Xenia will come around. She just needs a moment to be alone."

Jayra nodded in agreement.
