Chapter 608: Watcher (1)
After finishing his duties at the holy land, Arthur was called to the first queen’s chambers before he could even enter his own room.
The usual aides who were always by the first queen’s side were nowhere to be seen. The queen, who had been handling documents alone, smiled warmly as she greeted Arthur.
"I apologize for calling you so soon after you’ve just returned. It’s a dire situation, and I need someone who can help."
She didn’t even try to hide the fact that it was a lie. If it were any other time, she would have summoned her older brother to sit next to her. The real reason she called Arthur was clear.
"I’ve never handled any royal affairs before, Your Majesty. I will probably be more of a hindrance than a help."
"I know of your sharpness, Third Prince. I will assist you until you become proficient, so please sit down."
The words of the fragment seemed right.
Sigh. For now, I have no choice but to play along with the first queen.
"What should I do?"
"First..."
Arthur, who had been listening intently to the first queen’s explanation, cursed inwardly.
