Return to the Palace

Two weeks later, Raquel and Ryker were preparing to leave for the capital city of the empire, Linbourne. They had returned to Westerwyn a few days ago, but couldn’t stay there for too long.

The constant traveling was wearing them both out, but duty had called them back to the palace. Delaying their return would only raise eyebrows and they didn’t need anyone to discover their stop in the Northern Territory.

They already had even problems with Lady Diana realizing the curse had been removed.

Duchess Westerwyn had to remove the curse immediately without manipulating its energy to trick Lady Diana as the time needed would see Raquel dying before it was complete.

Of course, this meant Lady Diana knew the moment the curse had been removed, but Duchess Westerwyn told them not to worry too much about it. Lady Diana would not expose the truth without outing herself about knowing Westerwyn’s truth.
