Chapter 174: A Little Stone
Edmund quickly left the inn after making sure his wife was safe and well.
Before he went, he gave a firm command to Callen and a few of his most trusted soldiers to protect her at all costs while he was away.
He made his orders very clear. "I expect to see my wife safe and sound when I return."
Otherwise, they’d better hope the mighty Lycan King only fired them instead of doing something far worse.
Primrose honestly didn’t think anyone would suddenly attack the inn.
After all, Mirelle was here, and if she knew Mirelle, the woman had probably already spread the news all over Moonshadow that the King and Queen looked completely in love and even went shopping at her store.
If they tried to kill Primrose in broad daylight, they wouldn’t live to see the sunset.
In hindsight, becoming friends with the gossip queen had been one of her smartest moves.
After watching Edmund disappear into the distance, Primrose was planning to do what any reasonable person would: roll around in bed, nap, maybe eat some snack, and be delightfully lazy for the rest of the day.
However, before she could return to her room, she saw a carriage approaching the inn.
It didn’t bear any family crest or official emblem, just a plain carriage, the kind rented or belonged to someone who wasn’t nobility or from a well-known house.
