Chapter 496: Back in Her Office
Arabella and Ferdinand only drank the tea in Olivier Castle. They did not dare touch food since it meant, it would have to be checked for poison. Likewise, they were not even in the mood to eat back there.
But with food prepared by Alfredo, they knew it was delectable before they even began eating.
"I will be dealing with the issue between my assistants later. What about you," Arabella inquired once they were done eating.
She knew Ferdinand had a lot of things to do here too.
"I will meet with the ministers. There are a lot of things we need to discuss. Check how the knights are doing. Check my assistants as well. Oh, and I need to meet with the advisers too..." Ferdinand enumerated, and it was a long list.
"Then, we will meet in Estrella later?" Arabella inquired if she should return first. "Or should we stay the night here?"
"Let’s meet in Estrella. It’s safer. I don’t even want to leave your side while those magicians are still lurking somewhere," Ferdinand held her hand.
They both had work to do, and he knew his work would take a lot of time.
"I’ll be fine," Arabella assured him.
The palace was surrounded by multilayer barriers. Alwin had strengthened it and cast some more after the incident when he felt the presence of the God of Mischief.
Humans would not be able to penetrate a barrier he made in an attempt to block a much higher being.
