Wandering around the Elf Imperial Court, Laya happened to run into Li Wei and Saint Xi, who were just leaving the Imperial Palace.
Upon learning that the two were looking for a place to stay, Laya led them to where she was living.
It was a residence Ferruccio had established specifically to host lords from various territories.
Carrying the Lord's Token, Laya was treated as a lord's confidante by the Elf King's personal guard, allowing her to enjoy the kind of treatment reserved only for a lord.
Laya pushed open the door and said, "It's a good thing the Lord isn't here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to stay."
"This residence was prepared especially for the Lord. Please, come in."
Li Wei walked through the door, and when he saw the person sitting inside, he froze for a moment.
"Lord Delvin."
Hearing Li Wei's voice, Laya's body went stiff.
She peeked inside and saw, to her surprise, Delvin already sitting in the living room.
