Book 19: Chapter 31
“Your Highness!! I am back!!”
After entering the palace, the four sisters and their two guardians remained in the main hall. The youngster bolted straight upstairs while simultaneously shouting. Perhaps he hoped to see his Queen. Well, technically, she wasn’t the Queen, yet. The four sisters stood in the hall feeling hopeless. The maid came up to them to take their cloaks and luggage. The maid gave them a bow: “Please come to the guest room to wait.”
The group went to rest in the guest room. Nona sat down into the soft sofa and looked at the walls around: “This imperial palace doesn’t look any different.”
Vera looked around and then corrected Nona: “It’s a bit smaller than Dad’s, but this place isn’t as rich as the North, so it’s normal for it to be smaller. Plus, the imperial palace is the most resplendent building here.”
Curious, Liu Yue scanned her surroundings. Every part of the palace was a new experience to her since she rarely went to the Imperial Palace. Compared to her three sisters who resided in the more resplendent edifice, Liu Yue felt that the palace they were in was grandeur.
Ying and Tanya inspected the surroundings of the guest room to ensure there were no secret passages or traps. Once they ensured the safety of the room, the two took the front and rear of the room and prepared themselves. The two were always in full gear, which was burdensome for the four sisters, so they weren’t all that lively.
Soon, footsteps came from outside. Ying pressed her hand on her sword handle to ready herself for any threats. A guard slowly pushed the door open and looked inside. He respectfully bowed to them: “Esteemed guests, Miss Vera will soon personally be here. We are aware of your identities. We welcome you to Galaluocia’s imperial palace. We will do our best to take care of you for you are our esteemed guests. Would you like to have something to drink for now? Perhaps fruit juice or tea?”
Nona raised her hand and cheerfully exclaimed, “Fruit juice!”
“Fruit juice.”
