Chapter 197: Not Back Yet
Once Alwin was done with the spells on Arabella, he sent Riley to report to Ferdinand.
In alarm and worry, Ferdinand returned to the palace just to ensure Arabella was indeed fine. He had to leave in just a few minutes though since he was scheduled to meet with the King of Crux.
Crux had finally responded to Ferdinand’s letter and had begun sending back some of the people of Prudencia they had bought as slaves.
They requested a meeting with Ferdinand since his knights had surrounded Crux in all directions.
Ferdinand agreed to the meeting because his magicians discovered that some nobles were trying to sell off their slaves in other countries and pretend like they never had a slave from Valeria in the first place.
It annoyed Ferdinand so he rallied more knights to surround Crux and stay close to the borders.
Due to this, Crux was in a panic that they might get attacked any day so they finally wanted to have a discussion.
Meanwhile, since there was nothing wrong with her and spells were cast on her, Arabella went to work in her office with both Rendell and Alwin as her guards.
Her assistants realized that something must have happened for her to be guarded by Ferdinand’s mage himself in addition to Rendell and her other guards.
This time though, Alwin kept his hood on and hid his face.
Arabella’s assistants only knew he was Ferdinand’s rumored mage due to the cloak he was wearing.
