Book 7: Chapter 50
“Castell.”
Castell stood at the door and looked at the beauty lying on the bed in the room， reading the letter in front of her. He only knew that the letter came from His Majesty, which was sent from the desert. He was unclear of what the contents were; however, he could see that Her Majesty viewed it with great importance. The letter arrived yesterday. Her Majesty was so excited that she didn’t eat dinner and looked at it all night. She even held it in her sleep, as though she was hugging her son.
Her majesty was always been absent-minded, ever since His Majesty left. She always looked south and spaced out whenever she was free. When night came, not even her sleep-aid medication could guarantee her a good night of sleep. That made Castell worry a bit, since it was clear that her health was deteriorating.
However, she slept well after receiving the letter.
Castell bowed as he looked at the Empress. He asked, “What are you orders, Your Majesty?”
“I shouldn’t be getting involved with this under normal circumstances, but since my son has mentioned it to me, I must bring it up.”
The Empress rolled over. Though she looked excited and happy after receiving her son’s letter, the gaze she looked at Castell with was not a relaxed and fond one. To the contrary, it was a very stern reproaching gaze filled with criticism. Castell had never been looked at that way before. He felt his limbs feel frozen ice-cold due to her gaze as he quaked uncontrollably.
“Your Majesty, please elaborate… I… I do not understand…”
Castell muttered as he looked at the Empress. His cold sweat ran down the tip of his nose.
