Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 218

Derek entered the king's study, and reported, "Your Majesty, Grand Princess Eleanor has come to the palace and requests to see you."

Salvador looked up from the mountain of reports before him. He tossed aside his pen, and rubbed his temples. "Did she say what it was about?"

"She didn't specify, but she appears to be quite angry," Derek replied cautiously.

Salvador sneered, "My aunt has always been domineering. During festivals, she visits the palace and treats me like a child. However, she seldom comes to see me alone. After all, what could be so significant that a great princess like her can't handle? Its likely related to the events at the birthday banquet."

He had heard about what happened at Eleanor's birthday banquet, though he was unsure of the full details. It had been several days since then-was she still aggrieved by that event?

"Show her in," Salvador said.

Derek hesitated before adding, "Grand Princess Eleanor is at Serenity Palace. She has also summoned Lady Helen."

"Summoned?" Salvador's smile was shallow, and lacking warmth. "Very well. As a younger member of the family, it is my duty to pay my respects to my aunt."

Derek bowed, then instructed, "Prepare the litter for the king."
