"You really put on a show; I thought you were going to kill the royal guard," Velryna said as she held Ziriel's arms.
"Oh, please, I'm not that talented of an actress," she replied with a calm smile. She had enjoyed acting like a tyrant for a few minutes.
"Hehe," Velryna smiled, holding Ziriel's arm closer to her chest. Ziriel, on the other hand, was almost having a breakdown... despite the body, she was still a man at heart.
As they reached the palace entrance, they finally separated. Ziriel noticed it was because of the entrance; probably on the other side, many palace staff would be waiting for the Princess to enter. As thought, Ziriel stayed behind Velryna, while she was the first to enter with Simon by her side, as the designated bodyguard who should always be with her.
"Welcome, Your Majesty, the Princess," the head maid appeared in the midst, and about twelve Imperial Palace staff bowed in reverence around her.
