Chapter 766: Confrontation

Eiro and Nelly swam through the castle. The demon was guiding his contracted spirit to the room that the queen was currently in. It didn't seem to be her bedchambers like last time, but something more adjacent to a sitting room. At the end of the day, it was still just another space for her to lay and do basically nothing in, though.

The king was in the throne room, talking to some of the naiads and spirit people that worked at the castle. He did have his own space here too, but Eiro hadn't noticed him return there even once in the time that he had been here. This was the naiad queen's own castle, and whenever the king was here, the two spent their nights together. They did really seem to be in love, so at least Eiro was glad that the former queen didn't let go of her position for nothing.
