Originally, she intended to be angry when he arrived.

She planned to question him about where he had been and the meaning behind the numerous carriages of young noblewomen that had visited his family’s mansion.

However, when Lina saw the tired expression on Reinhold's face, concern overtook her anger.

"Morghen, are you alright?"

"I apologize, Your Highness. I was so focused on finding a way to repair the goddess's blessed artifact that I failed to inform you."@@novelbin@@

Of course, that made sense. Reinhold had been preoccupied with something important, and that's why he hadn't been able to update her.

She wanted to ask about the noblewomen's carriages, but Lina decided to let it go.

Whether his fatigue was due to working on the shield’s restoration or dealing with the noblewomen, she would soon be the one managing his surroundings, so it wouldn’t be an issue.

"A day and a half was more than enough time for me to miss and worry about you."

Reinhold, though tired, found Lina's playful complaint endearing.

When a husband returns home from work, it’s customary for the wife to welcome him with open arms. But expressing how much she missed him in this way was also charming.

Arrogantly, Reinhold had already begun to consider the palace as his home.

When he took her hand, Lina shyly lowered her gaze.

He liked this submissive side of the otherwise imperious woman.

"Saintess Arsil and Archer Naidrian have arrived!"

Tch.

The pleasant atmosphere was shattered.

After casting a regretful glance at Reinhold as he moved away from her, Lina composed herself to greet the two arrivals.

"Welcome, Arsil, Naidrian. You must be hungry, but not everyone is here yet. If you wait a little longer, you’ll get to taste the dishes prepared by our royal kitchen."

"As long as it fills my stomach, it’s fine."

Arsil responded indifferently as she took a seat.

Lina’s temple throbbed, but she restrained her irritation, knowing that the gorilla-like woman was always like this.

When they first reunited, Arsil had cared more about the fact that she had escaped from Filthy Alley and hadn’t heard any news about Yi than about Lina being the Crown Princess.
