Chapter 106: Suicidal Intruder (II)
"No need to make a scene." Primrose finally sat back down. "But you can ask Salem to come here."
"I can’t leave you alone, Your Majesty," Callen said with a frown. He was clearly growing more uneasy, his queen looked far too calm for someone who had just learned someone wanted to poison her food.
"Then ask one of the nearby soldiers instead," Primrose replied. "If they ask why, just say I wanted to eat in the kitchen and needed someone to confirm the food was still safe to eat."
Callen hesitated but finally nodded. "In that case, I’ll tie her up before I go find someone."
Primrose shook her head gently. "You don’t need to. She won’t do anything to me."
"Your Majesty, you can’t trust someone you just met!" Callen argued. "Especially after she just admitted to poisoning the palace supplies!"
Primrose waved her hand. "Don’t worry about it. She didn’t do it."
When Callen opened his mouth to argue further, Primrose cut him off again. "Like I said before, I can read people the moment I meet them. Do you not trust my judgment?"
Callen closed his mouth and finally responded after a brief pause. "I believe in you, Your Majesty."
Even so, he didn’t break eye contact with Primrose as he stepped out of the kitchen. He walked backward and left the door wide open.
"Let’s see ... what should I eat first?" Primrose turned back to the food on the table, completely ignoring the presence of the young woman sitting nearby.
