Just as they were about to enter the door, Ivor turned to Yasmine and said sternly, "Go to your room and reflect on your actions. You are not allowed to come out until I say so. If you sneak out again, your punishment will be far more severe."
On the way back, Yasmine wondered what kind of punishment Ivor would give her. At worst, she expected to be sent to the training camp for intense training. She was prepared for the worst. However, she was relieved when Ivor said her punishment was simply to reflect on her actions.
"Thank you, Boss," Yasmine said, her voice full of gratitude.
Ivor frowned as he noticed her just staring at him without speaking. "Why aren't you saying anything? Do you think your punishment is too light? Should I make it harsher?"
Yasmine snapped out of her daze and quickly waved her hands. "No, no! I'll go and reflect right away. Don't worry, Boss. I promise I won't leave without your permission!"
Having seen her savior and confirmed her safety, Yasmine felt there was no reason to go out again.
"Good..." Ivor started, but Yasmine had already run off before he could finish.
Watching her joyful retreating figure, Ivor rubbed his temples with a touch of helplessness. "That Yasmine..."
Although Floyd also thought the punishment was too light, it wasn't his place to comment, so he remained silent.
Ivor sighed almost imperceptibly. He then took his eyes off Yasmine and turned to Floyd. "Gather our people and prepare to support the Nidhogg Organization."
