Claudia found herself caught off guard by this turn of events. Despite experiencing a return from overseas when she was young and famous, she had never been besieged by reporters.

Yet now, prompted by the incident of her mask coming off, a group of reporters had assembled at the hotel doorway, lying in wait.

Wearing a concerned expression, Claudia responded, "But we have plans to head back to Linmarsh in the afternoon."

Amalia paused and said, "I will do whatever I can to talk them down. Could you consider having Lunch at the hotel instead?"

Claudia understood Amalia's intent. Not wanting to impose further, she assured, “Alright, we'll stay put until one. If the reporters remain, don't sweat it. You've had a grueling couple of days; you should rest."
