Chapter 127: Bursting Open
Julius stopped and looked at Alexandra. He didn’t want to be doubting her, but he couldn’t help it. And this issue...
Julius knew it was Maximus who did it. For some reason, the ministers are trying to bury it rather than get it out. It is probably because they don’t want to seem affected by it so that Maximus won’t start a killing streak againt all the other women in the harem.
"It is under investigation, Your Royal Highness," he said bowing his head.
He had a feeling that Maximus won’t be pleased if Alexandra knows about it.
Alexandra found Julius’ words to be a bit untruthful, but she decided to wait. Flavia will always find her the truth. She genuinely believed that it is Theodora’s work or someone from the Harem who did it just to frame her.
"By the way, I am interested in visiting the Harem," Alexandra said and Julius let out an audible sigh.
"I want to visit the Harem," Alexandra repeated and Julius nodded half-heartedly.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness. I will get permission from the Emperor and after making the necessary preparations, I will arrange your visit to the Harem."
Alexandra nodded and Julius stood up and bowed once more.
"Julius," Alexandra stopped him when he was about to leave.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness?" Julius turned halfway to look at her. The furrow between his eyebrows revealed the stress he is in and that he is not pleased to talk to her further.
Alexandra understood that Julius was here just to talk to her about the hunt. And she didn’t know what else is in his mind. She didn’t care much for it anyway.
