Chapter 146: Keep Your Hands Off
"It’s too bad that we were left behind," Krisha sighed as she stared at the balcony where their King had just turned into mist along with their Queen. "I feel so bored doing nothing here, Dani."
"Well, only someone with Exordium blood in them has the ability to safely bring someone with them in their mist form," Dani reminded her as she fed Nik. "We’re not even close to anyone that has the requirement, let alone having to make a request for them to bring us to the encampment."
"It seems that only Zaila’s the one that gets to enjoy having fun here with another suitor in line," Krisha scoffed, her face twitching as she sat on their snack-filled table.
Dani chuckled. Indeed, Zaila was now with Admiral Sixto. The two seemed to be getting along rather well. Poor Vassal Gregory... Well, Zaila was still a single lady, after all, so there was no harm for her to mingle around with men so long as she wouldn’t give anyone her hand in marriage yet.
"Look at you chuckling like that. I guess I’ll be left as the only old maiden here in this kingdom," Krisha snorted. "I even almost forgot you’re already engaged to the Chancellor, as well."
To Dani’s surprise, Krisha’s words made her cheeks turn crimson red.
Their Queen didn’t even require her to come on this journey with them thinking that she would need to spend more time in the palace with Chancellor Abel. The reasoning was that the two of them needed to get to know each other more. But of course, Dani insisted otherwise.
’I need time away from him,’ she joked to herself as she shook off the embarrassing scene inside her head.
Even now, remnants of what happened that night with her and Abel keep coming back to haunt her. In particular, she saw herself pouncing on Abel and even trying to kiss the man before ending up puking on him. It was like the worst nightmare she ever had, and she was hoping to not have to encounter Abel for some time because of it. And as it so happened, this journey was just the perfect excuse!
