[ Despite the relief, a sense foreboding still hangs over Susato. It almost feels too good to be true. She doesn't seem quite as happy as the rest of them, but rather than ruin the celebration, she's hidden herself away in a quiet corner of the room in front of one of her favorite things: a giant bookshelf.
Around her shoulders is a large, royal-purple blanket. There's a steaming cup of tea in front of her, as well as a thick book on her lap. Despite all these comforts, however, she can't seem to stop shivering. Even when she speaks, she can see her breath, but she doesn't seem to question this. Streaks of white in her hair catch the light, almost glowing, making her appear ghostly, but she doesn't question that either. She simply looks up from her book innocently, sluggish to react. ]
Oh! [ She shuts the book abruptly, practically shoving it aside. She stands up far too quickly, just to bow with more respect than he rightly deserves. ] Your majesty... Of course. We can't thank you enough.
[ He saved the kingdom, didn't he?
...Didn't he? ]
It must have been difficult.
[ Doing what he did... But kings and queens often make such difficult decisions, so is it really so strange? ]
