Chapter 218
"Milady?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Did Sir Ahwin do something to upset you? If so, I’ll have words with him immediately—"
Penelope raised her hand to cut off the retainers’ concerned outbursts.
"Quantis and Veloci. Those two territories are targeting Halo."
"…!"
The retainers’ eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn’t quite process what Penelope had just said—or rather, they hadn’t fully grasped it yet.
"What did you just say, Milady?"
"I said the lords of Quantis and Veloci are keeping me in check."
"Why would they… Are you certain of this?"
"I am. I heard it directly from the Grand Duke of Rahinsel. And about a week ago, Her Majesty the Empress mentioned something similar—there’s a force in the North actively working to suppress Halo."
"That’s…!"
The administrator’s face turned ashen. If both the Empress and the Grand Duke had pointed it out, it had to be true.@@novelbin@@
