Crowne arrived in front of Ruth's room. The two women who escorted him immediately left. Crowne then opened the door.
When he entered, suddenly all gazes turned toward him.
"Sit down!" Ruth requested.
Crowne turned to the right. When he turned, he was shocked to see that there were many people there. Not strangers, but Lyrica, Gorhan, and Meya were there. Seeing the three of them already present made him feel relieved.
He even smiled. After that, he sat on the same chair. Lyrica, Gorhan, and Meya bowed their heads. They only looked at Crowne for a moment and then immediately lowered their heads again. They did not dare to stare too long at Crowne because they were embarrassed. Beside them was a man Crowne did not know.
"I have already handled your rank promotion," Ruth said.
"Thank you," Crowne replied.
