Chapter 27: Victoria's Rage (II).
Victoria's POV
I'm supposed to be preparing the princess for her father's return. I announced and gave the letter to Sir Lincoln, one of the only people I trust in the council to spread the news about the king's return in a few days.
Everyone was in a frenzy right after.
Emperor Alastor Izden Nevemayr is coming back home to rule his kingdom once more, perhaps permanently repairing the damage of war that has affected most of the villages outside.
"Yawn… good morning to you hon." I went through my bedside table and held a worn photo of my lover. The ink used to have drawn her was leaving faint but I could still remember her lovely features.
"Mary, I'll be home soon. Just a bit more… I'll be coming home to visit."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"?"
Right after waking up, a visitor at this hour. Could it be my maid neighbors giving me snacks again?
…
I was wrong.
