[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: WALKING THROUGH THE DARKNESS ~ ZIOR PARK]
Nix walked casually to the queen dowager's chamber. He didn't wait for the announcement to end; instead, he entered the room. His sharp eyes took note of an elderly woman having tea, but he didn't turn to address her. His focus was on the queen dowager, who was preparing for a walk outside the palace. Nix gave a slight bow.
"Welcome, Nix. I hope you have been keeping an eye on the princess. Let me know if anything is odd about her," Almaria said, looking at Nix through the mirror held in front of her.
Nix nodded but didn't say anything. As he was about to leave the room, something crossed his mind.
"She had an issue last night; she fainted and kept calling for her mother," Nix said, observing the reactions of both women. Almaria abruptly got up, but then she sat back down, as if the other woman signalled her to do so. Nix took note of all this.
