Since it was Julia's handmaid who paid the palace maids, Arabella arranged a meeting with her.
As usual, Rendell was with her. But Alwin, disguised as a knight, also stayed by her side this time to ensure she was safe and to catch the culprit who paid the palace maids.
Ferdinand wanted to come too but he had a lot of work to do. A lot of urgent documents just came from Riva so he had no choice but to work first.
Arabella assured her husband she would be fine since she won't be alone.
Alwin could just teleport her to the mansion the instant they sensed danger.
Ferdinand still insisted on increasing the number of her guards though so more knights were with her today.
Arabella was sure it would look intimidating to Julia but there was nothing she could do. Who knows if Lucille had something else planned out? Arabella was not keen on getting hurt either so more guards should be fine.
As Arabella had expected, Julia was taken aback at the sight of more knights guarding her.
