"Yes my lord. I thank you for the trouble." Serena replied with a forced smile. She had arrived, invited to the royal palace by the king and she was aware of the reason behind this.
...
Serena was informed about her husband's suspicious death by the individual from royal forces. The royal forces had made a query to the Arista family head, to which Keol Arista admitted the absence of his subordinate.
Just when Serena had believed that this was it, then she was called by the king. She knew it would be something related to Scheta, and indeed the king had called her to inform and console her for the murder of her husband. But the king was not very serious about consoling her. Instead, he kept looking at her with nefarious eyes.
It was obvious that the king was not a good man, but to lustfully look at the widow? Serena felt disgusted by him.
