Her Majestic Battle Cry 790

Chapter 790

Just as she took a few steps out of the royal study, Cassa was intercepted by the queen’s head maid, Lydia, who smiled and curtsied.

“Your Grace, it’s been a while since we last met.”

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.

Could she decline?

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.

The distance from the royal study to Everspring Palace was a bit of a trek, but the weather was pleasant, with a gentle breeze that eased some of the oppressive atmosphere from the study. As she walked, the tension slowly bled out of Carissa’s body.
