Chapter 117: Embarrassed Queen
Aleksander and Elys returned to their shared bedchambers just in time that their loyal servants arrived at the palace. Henry and Cordelia brought each of their master’s personal belongings, as well as several important documents.
"Your majesty," Cordelia hovered over Elys like a spooked mother hen, "what happened? We heard a blast and rushed as fast as we could."
"Why are there no knights stationed near your bedchambers, your majesty?" Henry asked Aleksander, his tone equally worried, but was more civil than Cordelia’s approach.
Elys and Aleksander were caught by surprise with the way their servants reacted to the explosion.
"I am fine, Cordelia," Elys smiled at the old woman.
"So am I," her husband added, "Henry, Cordelia, you two can put both our personal belongings inside this shared bedchamber."
The old woman and his attendant’s brows rose. Cordelia with apprehension, Henry with curiosity. The shared bedchamber was used primarily for...
"Don’t just gawk like that," Aleksander snapped. "Get going, we have a long night ahead."
’A long night ahead?!’ Cordelia and Henry worried simultaneously.
