King Jaren kept his word. The next day, he led Mana, Raven and Jules, along with Grandpa and Grandma, to Queen Sora's chambers.
Queen Sora's maids and servants were clearly unwilling to let them through…but with the recent upheaval in the imperial palace, they were too scared to stand against the king.
"Her Majesty is unwell," one of the maids muttered.
"All the more reason for us to see her, then, isn't it?" Grandma said mildly. "After all, I am her mother."
Mana, Raven and Jules didn't know what conversation had taken place between Papa, Grandma and Grandpa – but it was clear from their attitude that Grandma and Grandpa would prioritise Jules's safety over everyone else. It was surely not easy for them…knowing one of their daughters had murdered the other and was now trying to murder her children as well.
The servants were too scared to make a ruckus, and thus, the group was led to the sitting room and Queen Sora appeared after a while.
