Eryx's POV
"How's Valeraine?" I asked upon entering the Central Hall. I know that it's not appropriate to bring Valeraine here but I need to protect her. I know those assassins.
The Royal Mother must have sent them because she's not happy about my verdict of cancelling the wife selection.
Physician Zian bowed to me before speaking. "She's out of danger, Your Majesty. She must have passed out because of the shock of seeing those assassins."
I saw Ariel, Lord Arzael, and Hazewood on the window part of the room. Eleanor is also there, giving Valeraine a towel bath.
"You may leave now. Thank you." I replied. Physician Zian immediately leaves with his companions. The moment they leave, all the windows shut down. I saw Ariel's red glowing eyes staring at me.
"Who did this?" she asked. Her tone is enough to give me chills, she must have been angry that she forgot to use honorifics.
"I know that you know them."
