It took Naveer quite a long time to examine Lorelle. She didn't just check her body but also her soul, along with the traces of magic lingering inside her.
Primrose grew so bored that she nearly fell asleep on the couch while waiting for it to end. Meanwhile, Leofric waited patiently out on the balcony, standing with his back to the door because he had no desire to peek inside.
Nearly half an hour later, Primrose felt someone tap her shoulder. She straightened up at once and blurted, "I wasn't sleeping!" Her eyes widened when she saw Naveer standing before her instead of Solene. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout."
She was just too used to being woken by Solene or Sevrin and forgot to mind her manners. However, since Lorelle's condition was a tightly guarded secret, Primrose couldn't allow Solene to step into this room.
