Chapter 124: A Maid In Distress
Anna sat in the moving carriage, her nervousness evident in her fidgeting movements as time went by. Beside her, Kyren, providing a reassuring presence, accompanied her on the momentous journey.
The carriage, adorned with the distinguished coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Gerhard, rolled its tyres, setting the procession in motion as it made its way towards the palace.
Drystan and Alex led the way at the forefront of the procession, their presence commanding and dignified, followed closely by Rafe. The skilled driver navigated the path carefully, ensuring a smooth and safe departure.
As the carriage progressed along the road, a crowd had gathered by the sides, eagerly anticipating a glimpse of the royal entourage.
However, the drawn curtains obstructed their view, leaving them longing for a glimpse of the occasion unfolding before them.
Anna’s agitation was visible, her hands becoming moist with nervousness. She removed her gloves, seeking to dry her sweaty palms and find some relief from her anxiety.
The thought of the occasion and the unknown future ahead weighed heavily on her, causing her emotions to stir within.
"What should I call you when I’m in the palace? Should it be ’Your Highness’?" Anna inquired, her voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty.
Kyren couldn’t help but release a soft, lighthearted chuckle in response.
"You’re my wife, Anna," he said affectionately, his tone filled with warmth. "You are privileged to call me by my name. Besides, you hold the esteemed title of the Princess of Ardel, and we share an equal royalty standing within our union."
However, Anna’s inquiry delved deeper into the complexities of interkingdom relations.
