I had kept in contact with Martia by correspondence, and I've also asked her a couple of times about the Ethiro army.
I hadn't heard anything about the people that appeared in the palace that day. I informed my Queen about that.
I've lived in Ethiro for more than a quarter of a century; I was familiar with the people at the top of the command chain.
Just by asking a couple of questions to the delegation, I confirmed that they weren't who they pretended to be.
As a result, my Queen chased them out with a furious expression I haven't seen before. There wasn't a throne for the royal consort, so I just stood next to her, amazed by how she immediately made the decision.
She trusted my judgement without a second thought, the realisations of someone without a single achievement in their whole life.
And here I thought there wasn't a place for me.
