Chapter 431: Her Story
"Let us escort you to where you’ll be staying," Dani started with a courteous smile as they walked her to her assigned bedchamber. "Everything you’ll need will be in here for now. You won’t be allowed to go out from this secret wing unless the King says so, and we’ll be checking you first since you came with Zoran, a man wanted in this kingdom for colluding with the Demon King Devon."
The sun was already rising, so she signaled for Zaila to begin checking Dahlia for any traces of dark magic. Thankfully, Dahlia was being cooperative as Krisha left to get breakfast from the servants. Meanwhile, Dani stayed as she quietly watched Zaila do her work.
Soon, Krisha returned with a trolley of food for their guest and Dani helped her friend by placing them on the table near the balcony. They would be joining Dahlia for breakfast so that they could ask her about what happened to her since that day when everyone thought she died. They would then also tell her about the current situation in Valcrez since she had been gone for almost twenty-one years at that point.
"She looks kind compared to her twin," Krisha whispered to her in her low voice using their secret language as they both sat on the chairs by the table. Zaila was almost done checking Dahlia by that point. "Do you think we’ll have a problem with her?"
"I don’t know, Krisha," Dani replied with a shrug. "We just need to observe her some more."
In truth, she didn’t really care. What honestly bothered her was Abel. She couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. What if Abel saw Rosela in Dahlia? She seemed to be a better person, and seeing her face might rekindle something in Abel.
"I don’t think the king is still in love with her. I mean, he didn’t even spare her a glance before he disappeared. He’s that much in a hurry to leave and follow our queen," Krisha pointed out. "So we shouldn’t worry about things. And stop ogling her."
Dani bit her inner cheek. Krisha knew that she was worried, but it was more for Abel instead of for the king.
Not letting her friend find out what truly worried her, she spoke, "Let’s just tell her everything about what’s going on. She needs to know about our king and queen and how they’re inseparable now. If she’s truly unlike Rosela, then she’ll respect their relationship and not get in their way or do something to create chaos between them."
