Aries stayed with Conan for a bit but didn't stay for long since people would start looking for her. She ended the day like usual, working on the task she ought to give attention to, and then left to the Sapphire Palace. Even though she didn't see Joaquin throughout the day, Aries was aware of the current plight in the inner palace and pretended to not get affected by it.
"Welcome back, Your Highness." Gertrude welcomed her back with a polite bow, along with the servants, as soon as Aries returned. Aries waved, and that was Gertrude's cue to follow her as she waltzed through the hallway leading to her room.
"I asked someone to take my pet in here. Where is he?" Aries inquired without taking her eyes off of the hallway.
"He's in the room next to Your Highness."
Aries nodded at Gertrude's response. "Take me to him. I'd like to pet him after a long day of work."
"Yes, your highness. This way, please."
