Chapter 459: An Old Oath
Callis, who had been downcasting her eyes, lifted her head and straightened up when Sarah emerged from the chamber.
The Mederian Princess was curious about what had transpired inside and wanted to ask, but the chief lady-in-waiting completely ignored her presence.
Naise and Bridgette left immediately after Sarah whispered to them, while the royal healers were dismissed, leaving only Callis, Sarah, and Charles. It wasn’t long before a group of royal knights appeared on the scene.
"What is going on? Are you taking Anna somewhere else?" Callis asked anxiously as she spotted the approaching knights.
Sarah looked at the Mederian Princess with a sarcastic smile.
"Your beloved friend is currently being detained in this chamber. I would prefer her to suffer more in the prison, but it seems that Their Majesties still care for her somehow and want her to remain here instead. Oh, well... Perhaps I should just let her enjoy her last days of luxury before her demise."
"You scheming b*tch! You will pay for what you did!" Callis shouted, balling her fists in outrage.
She swore she would have punched the chief lady-in-waiting in the face, but the sheer number of knights forced her to hold back. If she were to be arrested for assaulting the noble woman, no one would be there for Anna.
