Episode 16 - Hero and a princess [1]

"Hey, Seth, I've been thinking this whole time."
"What?"
"Where's Zeth? With his personality, he'd be walking around near us."
".....?"
Rubbing his chin, Seth narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
The atmosphere felt unusually quiet since the sudden appearance of the hero, who was now standing beside the princess.
It was as if time had frozen for a few seconds, just enough to make the tension in the air palpable.
Though Seth had remained vigilant the entire time, he couldn't help but notice the same thing as Yuri: Zeth's strange absence.
Could it be that he really hadn't entered?
'Stevens said he'd come in last, so Zeth should be here.'
The issue was that he was nowhere to be seen, though that didn't entirely rule out the possibility that he was already among them.
With so many candidates and new faces, it was difficult to identify each one.
