Forty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the King's Palace.
Ella Lacey got out of the car, watching the colorful flags fluttering in the wind outside the palace. She felt a little excited.
Could he possibly appear from inside?
She'd heard from Brandon Cliff that His Majesty had been living in a luxurious suite in the palace recently.
She waited outside for over an hour, until the stars and the moon appeared together, but still didn't catch a glimpse of the King.
All she saw was emptiness, emptiness, and more emptiness of the plaza from outside.
But she couldn't just go in. The entrance was heavily guarded.
In desperation, she waited another two hours.
When the stars and the moon began to separate in the sky, Ella Lacey realized that accidental encounters were not that easy.
She found a nearby hotel to stay for the night, preparing for tomorrow's examination.

The next day.
