Chapter 332: Flee the house
"Your Majesty, Prince Magnus will be fine. Please make yourself comfortable here. The living room isn’t in good condition," Norman said, opening the door to the guest room within the mansion.
King Esmond entered and took a seat on the ornate chair. As he settled, he began, "It turns out your mother helped Damien enter the capital. May I know why you didn’t punish her when she’s always scheming around? Normally, I refrain from involving myself in human affairs, Norman, but this time, my son’s life was at stake. I nearly lost him."
"Your Majesty, I had no idea my mother would do something like this. I apologize deeply. Please pardon me for failing to keep her in check," Norman said, bowing his head in shame, unable to meet the King’s piercing gaze.
"I cannot forgive you and your family, Norman. I will announce my decision on this matter soon. You may leave," King Esmond declared with a stern, unyielding tone.
Fear gripped Norman’s heart as he backed out of the room, wondering what fate awaited his family. He wanted to plead further, but he dared not risk angering the King. Quietly, he exited the room, his mind racing with worry. As he stepped into the hallway, he saw Rhea heading towards Magnus’s room with Venus.
"His Majesty is angry. Have the guards taken mother away?" Norman asked, his voice trembling with distress.
"I believe so. I’ll ask outside," Rhea replied, her face etched with concern. "Prince Magnus is in a dire state, which is why the King is so furious. The fact that it all happened here only worsens the situation. For now, let’s just pray that Prince Magnus recovers," she added, silently praying for a miracle. "I’ll ask outside. You two should go to Prince Magnus’s room," she opined and walked away.
Outside, Rhea saw many Vampire guards were present. She asked one of them about the arrest of Madam Aubrey.
"No such arrest has happened," the guard replied. "Only Damien was taken away," he added.
