Chapter 122: Happy to Help
"O-okay, just...just be cool. Yeah, I need to act nonchalant, nice and chill," Ravella muttered to herself, as she took breath and slowly exhaled, before approaching the entrance to the Knight outpost in Garnet City.
It was the 22th of April, 1919, nearly two weeks since the Knights eliminated Exalt. And having purged several more corrupt Nobles who had been colluding with Exalt, all present obstacles to the nation’s positive progress were now effectively out of the picture.
Ravella had taken a day off today, and decided to come to Garnet City to hang out with Aster. It was a few minutes to 6 PM, when he’d be done with his duties for the day.
She greeted the Knights standing guard outside the entrance, before they let her in and she entered the building, looking around for Aster.
"Hm? Oh, hi, Miss Ravella. What brings you here?" Nile Voner greeted her politely.
"Hey, how’s it going? I’m off-duty today, so I figured I’d come here and hang out with Aster, is he here?" She responded with a smile.
"Yes, he’s in the back, I’ll show you to him," He nodded, before leading the way.
"Okay, this is it, can’t lose my cool now...," Ravella thought to herself as she slowed her breathing to compose herself, before stopping as Nile came to a halt in front of a door and knocked on it.
"Yes? Who is it?" Came Aster’s voice from inside.
"It’s me, Captain. Miss Ravella is here to see you."
"Ah, I see. Thank you, Nile. Let her in."
