After leaving the King's study, Shard did not immediately depart from Yordle Palace. Instead, he waited in the lounge until Director Anlos had finished his audience, and then the two of them had lunch at a club in the city.
Mr. Anlos, the MI6 director, acted with great caution. In the dim lights of this club, which on the surface appeared to be a laundromat, he emphasized the importance of this mission to Shard. The club's restaurant, consisting of widely spaced booths, was one of MI6's hidden spots in the city—a setting and atmosphere that perfectly matched the common citizens' imagination of a secret agent organization.
In fact, Shard's task was not that demanding. All he needed to do was monitor the Carsonrick's Princess at social events, observing as much as possible if she interacted with any special individuals. Generally speaking, the key was to present himself as a young gentleman attempting to establish friendly relations with a foreign princess.
