Chapter 87: A Fool
Abel blinked. Turning around, Dani greeted him with a thinly-veiled smirk. Clearly, she was challenging him, and he was even about to call her bluff when he was stopped by a guard.
"They’ve cast a protective barrier around the perimeter of the Amaranth palace, Chancellor," the guard whispered into Abel’s ear.
"Whatever he said, it’s right," Dani scoffed as he walked up to his side. "You see, we’re still unsure as to who can be a threat to Her Majesty, so we simply made sure to always be on our guard."
"Milady," Abel politely greeted her with a smile.
Dani simply raised a brow at him. Shrugging, she then looked at the guards. "Open the gates and let the Chancellor in for now," she ordered. "But next time, unless I, Lady Krisha, Lady Zaila, or the Queen herself approved it, don’t let anyone in."
With a silent nod, the guards opened the gates, allowing Dani to enter with Abel walking beside her.
"This is quite the strict security," Abel casually remarked.
"Someone is obviously trying to harm our Queen, so this is all necessary to make sure that whoever they are, they won’t be able to do so," Dani snorted.
"Like I said, no one barely noticed the existence of our Queen in Ebodia, so no one should be trying to harm her unless it’s about something that’s connected with His Majesty. Who knows? The enemy might even be someone who’s currently very close to the throne."
