Chapter 278: Tension Brewing

Myorka and Spade retreated to their own private spot out in the woods without even trying to participate in the preparations of the feast. Serenica allowed them their moment. They would be likely to want to join the negotiations later, and the healer had a lot of things to do.

She did not even dare to look at the queen mother – she was afraid of blowing their cover. The woman, though, she kept a facade of absolute submission towards her ever so sour husband, and when the Maroon King looked away, she looked at the healer with grim determination in her eyes.

Serenica did the only thing she could think of.
