I Became the Narrow-Eyed Character in the Little Prince Game

A few days later, Astro Headquarters.

I was seated at a conference table, attending a meeting with my closest aides.

Every individual present was a key figure within the organization.

Only Irene was absent, as per my request for her to stay at the academy.

"I’ll be waiting."

"I’d like you to return as soon as possible, though."

It was a time when stability was crucial.

And now that she had grown into a warrior on par with the professors, having her remain at the academy brought me a sense of relief.

Even if it was only for a short while, the academy felt vulnerable in my absence.

Moments like these reminded me how reliable she had become.

Regardless.

‘That’s not what’s important right now.’
