Damian teleported to the palace as he had something important matter to discuss with the King.
Since he and his brothers would soon be leaving to head to Lakeshire Town, they were planning to take Annalise with them as none of them wanted to leave their wife behind especially when they weren’t sure for how long they would be staying there.
Though they didn’t really have to ask for permission to take their wife with them, considering Annalise’s identity and the fact that they were going to Lakeshire Town due to official business, they decided to inform the King.
He appeared in the empty hallway outside the royal study as he could feel the presence of the king inside. What really surprised him was the lack of royal guards that should have been guarding the king outside in the hallway.
He made his way towards the door of the study but as soon as he was about to knock on the door, he listened to someone mentioning Annalise.
His hand froze in mid-air as he became surprised for a moment but then decided to hide in the shadows as he listened to the conversation going on inside the study.
"... was successful. Now, we can only wait for Annalise to complete her task as soon as possible." The person who was speaking was none other than the Grand Duke.
"Are you sure that she will be able to charm the Dark Lords?" The King asked as he sipped the wine.
"It’s Annalise we are talking about, her beauty can charm anyone, even the devil himself. If she can’t do that, then no one else can." The Grand Duke seemed pretty confident as he replied to the King’s question.
