Chapter 80 (1/2)

Roy, King of Orstoll, entered the room, and Fiiru stood up to bow

“Good evening, Your Majesty Roy Lynette has prepared some tea Please have some if it pleases you”

“I see Thank you,” he said as he removed his jacket and tossed it onto some nearby shelf

Lynette’s brows furrowed as she ran over to straighten it out and place it on a hanger

When she was done, she ran into the kitchen to bring dinner for the King and Queen

Lynette returned with a cart with the food on it As it was no e dinner, it seemed a little scarce for a royal couple’s meal Still, Roy paid it no mind and spoke to Fiiru instead

“My sister isn’t that kind of person!”

“I will say it once again No matter how much you or Lynettethe sa all facets of this investigation to me, did you not?”

Fiiru couldn’t help but trelare
