Chapter 85: A Cruel Fate
When Arabella woke up, it was already morning. She wanted to see Ferdinand off but Rendell informed her that he had already departed with Alwin and the knights. The investigators were already in Prudencia.
’So Alwin could actually teleport a lot of people? What was I worrying about?’
She could actually bring a few people with her the next time she travels.
The difference between Dimo and Alwin’s abilities was too great. She ended up underestimating Alwin a bit.
’I really should just think he could do everything so I wouldn’t have to limit what I ask him to do. I already have Ferdinand’s permission to bully him anyway.’
Her maids helped her with her daily morning preparations before she had breakfast.
Once she was done, she asked Eunice to summon Odette to her office.
"Greetings to Her Majesty, the Empress," Odette curtsied with the usual greetings. She looked stiff and nervous.
[Did I do something wrong? Did she hear I was trying to find a temporary job outside the palace while waiting for our work here to begin?]
’You don’t have to get another job anymore,’ Arabella wanted to say.
She had spoken with Raymond earlier before Odette arrived and he updated her about the latest situation in Prudencia.
