Chapter 2608: Empress and Her Peasants

Aina continued to sit, her expression settling down into a usual indifference. Facing off against this army of people, she didn't feel fear…

She felt excitement. 

It had been a very long time since she experienced this sort of thing. Even with all the danger they had been in during recent months to even years, Leonel usually took the brunt of it. For better or for worse, he was always her shield. 

Recently, though, Leonel had undergone a huge change, and it might very well be the reason he had decided to trust her with this. 

And she would prove his trust to be placed correctly. 

The skies rumbled as Aina crossed one leg over the other. A light smile tugged at her soft, pink lips. With her back straight, her chest proud, and her hair gently laying around her, she looked dignified and untouchable in her regality.
