Elis and Nadin were very curious about what the queen had said to Duchess Scarlet. However, they did not dare to ask or snoop.
While walking down the corridor, Aerith was surprised to see her father, Duke Scarlet. The man walked ahead, then turned at an intersection.
‘What did he do here?’ she muttered in her heart.
“Your Highness, are you alright?” Elis asked her.
“Yes, I’m fine.” Aerith walked back to her room, followed by Elis and Nadiin.
At the same time, Duke Scarlet entered the king’s office. The man had been in the palace since yesterday. He was waiting for the king to return to talk about the trouble his wife had caused.
Trish gestured for the Duke to sit down.
“It was a coincidence that you came. I was just about to invite you,” said Rion.
“My wife is arrested. Of course, I have to come," the duke replied.
“She committed a crime, so she must be arrested," Rion said.
“I’m here to guarantee her and give you the money to bail her out.”
