Chapter 139: Visiting Drayce

Martha returned to the tower first before going to Seren. When King Armen pointed out that she didn't look good, he was not wrong with his observation. Since she entered the palace, Martha was trying her best to show she was fine—the entire time she was in front of King Armen and even when she was walking towards the tower. 

Her steps were slow but steady when she passed through the gates, and she seemed to be idly strolling as she walked across the princess's flower garden. But just as she entered the tower, the old woman lost her composure and held onto the wall for support to stand. 

Martha looked in pain as she put one hand to the left side of her stomach. It took her a long time to climb the stairs by taking support from the wall. By the time she arrived in front of her own room, her skin looked so pale she looked about ready to collapse.
