Chapter 225: This Bangle
Mineah let out a loud sigh of relief the moment she was out of the throne hall. Finally, she could breathe properly after being subjected to the intense tension inside the hall. The moment she was outside, Krisha was there to greet her.
"Milady, the citizens of Norma sent many gifts for you," Krisha enthusiastically reported as they began walking through the hallways. "I have them all inside our spare bedchamber. They’re all grateful that you saved them."
Mineah hummed in recognition. While she wanted to see what she got, she and Nikolai still had a few more things to attend to. "Dani is still with the Queen Mother, right?" she asked, to which Zaila nodded.
"Give her some time off then. After all, her wedding is near. The Queen Mother wants to personally supervise it since Chancellor Abel is dear to her." She then asked, "Where’s Dahlia? I want to see her."
"Dani assigned her to tend to the greenhouse, so she’s probably there," Krisha answered. "She loves plants and is quite knowledgeable about them. She said Zoran taught her how to make a few potions and cast a few spells that would benefit her aides in terms of healing and a few other basic necessities."
Mineah simply nodded as the three of them started walking down the path towards the greenhouse.
"We’ll be quite busy these days since we have a lot of things to do," she reminded them. "Call for Niran so that she can assist while Dani isn’t around. I also want to check on her, so she might as well be here."
She then gave the two a few more instructions before dismissing them. Sighing, she only hoped that Niran would reach her soon. She wanted to make sure that her friend was really doing well, and that Raul wasn’t harming her in any way. The last time she saw her, she read from her friend’s thoughts of how her relationship with Raul wasn’t improving.
A few minutes of walking later, Mineah finally reached the greenhouse. There, she saw Dahlia plucking away at some of the dried and dead leaves on some of the plants. It would be her first time to meet Dahlia face to face, and she only hoped that she’d do it right the first time.
