Chapter 322 - A Woman who has Worth (2) (1/2)

I was stomping my feet back to the estate with one thing in mind, and that was to confront my husband about the happenings last night.

Just thinking that he did not tell me any of this the whole night and all morning we were together made me furious.

'I know this I need to stay calm and hear my husband's side, but just thinking he saw another woman's n.a.k.e.d body infuriates me.' I thought while stomping my feet.

When I was about to enter the mansion, a maid blocked my way. I was left to stop on mu tracks looking at the maid curiously. She was a little fl.u.s.tered looking up at me that she bowed down instantly.

”Y-Your majesty, I am sorry for blocking your way, b-but can I have a bit of your time.” The maid said fl.u.s.tered.

”How dare you block the way of her majesty?!” William was by my side in an instant. I raised my hand in gesture for him to stop.

”What is it that you wish to speak that you need to block my way?” I said with a cold voice.

I usually am not this cold, but the maid stopped me in my tracks to where I needed to go and deemed important.

”F-Forgive me your majesty.” The maid bowed down in fright instantly. ”My young lady sent me to give you a word. She wishes to speak with you.”

”The young lady Destia?” I raised one eyebrow. ”I heard that your young lady is under house arrest. Is she also confined to her quarters?”

”I-I am not in the position to reply to that, your majesty.” The maid shivered in fright.

”Yes, it is true that my sister is confined to her quarters the whole duration of your stay here your majesty.” I heard Raphael's voice.

Raphael emerged from one of the corridors. He gave me a solemn smile.”Greetings your majesty.” Raphael greeted me.”Raphael.” I nodded in reply.

”If you can please consider my sister's request to speak with you, I will gladly stand by to guard you.” Raphael said with a light tone. ”I know she has done some bad things to you, but please hear her out and let her ask for forgiveness.”

”Her highness has me to guard her.” William said with hostility against William.

”I am sorry Sir William. I did not mean it in a wrong way.” Raphael apologizes solemnly.

”That is enough Will.” I said.

”But Alicia...” William was still protesting.”I also want to here lady Destia's side of the story.

” I said it in a way how a queen would to her subjects.

”Thank you for giving her this opportunity, your majesty.” Raphael said. ”I will lead the way.” He gestured.

I followed Raphael and the maid towards Deborah's destination. I would like to go to where Regaleon is and to interrogate him of the happenings last night, but it is best to hear Deborah's side as well.

I entered the room where Raphael led me to. I entered first and William and Raphael followed behind.

The inside was a typical room a noble lady. The beddings, curtains, and furnitures had a light pink motif. Deborah was sitting on the couch with her back facing us.

”Deborah, her majesty is here to see you.” Raphael said with a gentle tone.

Deborah stood up and faced us. Her eyes were completly swollen from crying.

'It seems she has been crying since last night.' I thought.

”Greetings your majesty, the queen of Grandcrest.” Deborah curtsied with respect before me.
