Chapter 292: Chronicles of the Fallen Angels
It was Krisha who came back first to Valcrez. She was then followed by Zaila. The two then accompanied Mineah during her visits to the provinces to let Niran have a few days of rest.
"Do we really have to have them be in our entourage?" Zaila complained, her eyes landing on the group of ladies that just left them to get their meals. "They’re an eyesore."
"That’s politics," Krisha shrugged. "Just bear with them. It’ll be over soon."
Throughout this, Mineah remained quiet as she simply observed. She was currently seated with the two shadow maidens, and they were all talking in their secret language while they ate their own meals.
She and Nikolai had decided to let these ladies like Jane and Diane from Wagner Clans, together with some others to continue being with her during her visit throughout the provinces. It was also good for her in that it would allow her to build some connections with each of the powerful clans if she allowed their ladies to come with her.
"I’m sorry that your honeymoon had to be cut short though," Mineah apologized to Krisha as she grabbed her hand and gently squeezed it. "In such short notice too." She really felt bad for her friend that she was unable to do something to extend Taro’s vacation to be with her more.
Krisha’s face reddened as she bashfully shook her head. "It’s really fine, Milady. Taro and I already had a wonderful time together, and I believe this current set-up we have isn’t that bad," she sincerely stated. "I mean, being married hasn’t honestly sunk into me just yet. I feel like I still have more to do before proceeding to have my own family."
Zaila clicked her tongue and snorted. "Why let Taro mark you in haste then if you’re still not ready? Goodness, how naive can you be?" she grumbled. "You two already did the deed too, and who knows if you actually ended up getting pregnant first before Her Majesty? Al-"
"I like Taro, so I don’t regret everything I did with him, but I must admit that everything happened very quickly between us," Krisha scoffed, cutting Zaila off as she gave her a pointed glare.
