— Thank you, — Keliandra gratefully accepted the glass of water and immediately emptied it. — Most of my life has been spent far from civilization, so it’s sometimes difficult to avoid mistakes. Yes, Princess! I am here at her invitation and must meet with her. A certain person teleported to me using magic right in the middle of the street and ordered me to come here. It seemed to me that this was a good reason to hurry.
“It seems that this person was not wearing an antimagic ring, or was teleported from outside the city... which seems risky, as it would attract the attention of the guards. Unless, of course, she had special permission for this – and that is the most logical option.”
— Unfortunately, I will disappoint you, because you will not find Her Highness here. However, the circumstances under which you received these instructions, although unusual, are interpreted by me quite clearly. From today, you have been assigned to our squad, which is under the direct sponsorship of Her Highness, and under my leadership,” Ayko shrugged. — At least, that’s how I see it.
— We are the multi-tasking Carnelian combat squad, and I am its leader, Ayko Viresenser,” she introduced herself for the second time, in case the guest didn’t remember in her current state.
