Chapter 159: Mission

After the meeting among the lords of the noble households, the people dispersed after the meeting was concluded, not because their gathering was done but to get ready for the banquet hall that would take place that night.

Ophelia also went back to the room she was occupying during her stay in the royal palace to get ready for the banquet.

She has a composed and calm demeanor as she strides in the hallway of the royal palace, and as she arrives in her designated room, she walks in. As soon as the door closed behind her, Ophelia's composure crumbled as she lost the strength of her leg as she sat on the carpeted floor, her hands placed on her head as if she were going crazy.

Contrary to the admirable image she was portraying outside the chamber, Ophelia's true emotions were now on full display in the privacy of her room. The weight of the upcoming banquet and the pressure to maintain her composed facade had finally taken their toll on her.
