Ragnar's voice rumbled low and menacing as he muttered, "How dare a woman interrupts a conversation between men? Women are better off without a tongue."
Adeline's heart raced as she trembled under Ragnar's intimidating presence. She struggled to find her voice, feeling the weight of his words pressing down on her.
Arthur seized the opportunity to dismiss Adeline. "That's right! Guards, take this lowly healer away from here! What were you all doing? How could you let a lowly healer like her enter the room where nobles and royal officials gather?!"
The guards, under Arthur's command, swiftly approached Adeline and began to escort her out of the room.
Adeline's eyes darted around, searching for any support or intervention, but all she saw were indifferent faces and a palpable sense of obedience to Arthur's orders.
Adeline's gaze remained fixed on Ragnar.
Ragnar feigned indifference as he walked past her and whispered softly to Adeline, "She is in a safe place."
