He glanced at the king, who was already walking quite far ahead, and immediately called out loudly, "Swordsman Darius, what are you still doing here? Look how far His Majesty has gone already! Don't you want to see the new palace environment? And besides, you haven't seen His Majesty in over ten years—you must have a lot to catch up on, right? Now's your chance!"
Darius: ??????
Before he could open his mouth to refute, a sudden force from behind pushed him forward.
He stumbled two steps, nearly falling.
"You…"
"Swordman Darius, you're actually feeling shy now?" Eoryun blatantly lied with a straight face, completely ignoring Illiya's murderous glare.
He thought to himself, Better you than me.
Then, raising his voice, he called out to the king, "Your Majesty, you're walking too fast! The shy swordsman Darius can't keep up!"
Hearing this, the king stumbled but managed to regain his balance just in time.
However, after steadying himself, his pace noticeably quickened.
