Book 17: Chapter 27
“Good morning, Your Majesty. It is honestly rare to see you at the inner court this early in the morning. Did you not leave the inner court last night?”
“Uhm.”
I never expected to run into the one person I least wanted to see when I exited. Castell looked at me with a weird smile, reminding me of what transpired last night. Thus, I was worried that Castell realised what happened. I was worried until I eventually calmed down and realised what I just did. The realisation frightened me and left me looking pale.
Mommy Elizabeth didn’t have any issues, though. She behaved normally then slept without a word. Thanks to that, I enjoyed a comfortable night in Mommy Elizabeth’s arms. Only when I woke up did I realise I might be on the receiving end of Nier’s cold violence when I got back. After all, she was hugging her husband and enjoying a cosy sleep, only to wake up and discover that he left her and went somewhere she didn’t know. Surely any wife would be angered… Most importantly, I really did go and have a tryst with another woman. As a result, I felt guilty. Nevertheless, I enjoyed last night. I felt a little bad about it before I did it, but I couldn’t resist Mom’s body. Furthermore, logically speaking, it was unlike anybody noticed it. Nobody would ever find out.
Castell quietly chuckled: “Did you want to have breakfast? I have prepared your breakfast. I am sure Her Majesty would be happy to have breakfast with you.”
I shook my head with a smile: “Ah, no, I’m heading back to the outer court. If I’m in luck, I’ll be able to avoid misfortune…”
Castell revealed an understanding smile. He bowed then made way. When I passed by him, he whispered, “Be careful, Your Majesty. There are many, many eyes in the Royal Palace.”
I froze. I turned back to look at him, but he didn’t look at me. Instead, he gently knocked on the door. He picked up the tray of breakfast on the ground. On it was Mom’s breakfast.
“Good morning, Your Majesty. You appear to be in a fantastic mood today.”
