The Queen felt like she had just experienced social death.

Because of the fire, not only was there soot on her face, but even her hair had frizzled from the fire and was draped on her head in a mess. Yet she had gone to meet King with her face in this exact state and even asked him, “Who is more beautiful, me or Nora Smith?”

The moment she thought about it, she felt so embarrassed that she wished she could bury herself in a hole…

The Queen quickly changed into another set of clothes. By the time she stepped out, she had regained her composure. The aide observed the Queen’s expression warily and asked, “Your Majesty, are you alright?”

Although the Queen felt terribly embarrassed deep down, she remained calm on the outside.

She answered, “It seems King has quite a big request for me this time.”

Otherwise, given that ridiculous appearance of hers, would King be able to bring himself to compliment her?

The aide also found it puzzling. She asked, “What could he possibly have to ask of you? After all, he is…”

She swallowed the rest of her words, however. The Queen glanced at Barbarian and Black Cat and then gave the aide a look.

It was forbidden to reveal King’s identity to outsiders. Even after so many years, the aide was the only one the Queen had told the truth. Although Barbarian was her trusted bodyguard, it was still better to keep some things secret if possible.

The aide shut up.

Nora, who was following them at the back, was observing Barbarian at the moment.

The man had shed his fierce and savage aura. He was as docile as a wolfhound when he was by the Queen’s side, which felt rather novel to her.

With each of them harboring their own thoughts, the four entered the restaurant.
