Chapter 182: Trapped Under Anxiety (2)
"This.... Part?" Madeline looked to her left and right, the speed of her heart increasing at the idea of taking the wrong route. The palace building was incredibly big, and almost every corner of the building seemed alike, and the fear of misinterpreting the direction Cassian had made her memorize made her clutch her fingers even tighter to the bag hanging on her shoulder.
Did she take the wrong route and bumped into Queen Theresa? Where does this part of the palace lead to??
Now she’s doomed!
"I... the thing is.." in the middle of coming up with another quick excuse, Madeline sealed her lips when a familiar, and a much more rich baritone voice echoed in the corridor, gaining everyone’s attention.
"You’re here already."
With all heads turning to the sound of the voice, Alaric could be seen approaching them from ahead. At the glorious sight of him, all the maidens lowered their heads shyly, and Madeline, who’s heart immediately felt relieved by the sight of His Majesty, equally dipped her head in a low bow.
"Your Majesty." Theresa looked in her husband’s direction, a bit surprised to see him here as well. "What brings His Majesty to my royal boudoir?"
Hearing this, Madeline’s eyes immediately widened, and she was so close to the point of lifting her head up and looking at the corridor she had taken.
The Queen’s royal boudoir? This part of the palace leads to the Queen ROYAL BOUDOIR??
