Her Majestic Battle Cry 790

Chapter 790

Carissa returned the smile. It has. What brings you here, Lydia?”

“Oh, it’s nothing urgent. Her Majesty mentioned she hasn’t seen you in some time and would like to invite you to Everspring Palace for some tea.”

Carissa’s throat was parched and she felt the pang of thirst. However, she also knew that an invitation from the queen rarely came with good intentions.

Seeing the determined look on Lydia’s face, she realized that refusal wasn’t an option.

“Alright, then. Please lead the way.”

“Of course, Your Grace,” Lydia replied cheerfully before setting off.
