Chapter 316: Burn

After having a meeting with Adeline, Prince Edwin returned back to his workroom. He paced back and forth in the room for a while. He was thinking about all the preparations that he needed to do from his side for the fateful day of his mother.

He sat down on his chair to recollect his thoughts. And he scribbled some points on a sheet of paper as he spoke, "So, I will have to confirm again that mother will come with me on that day. I finally got some excuse about why Joyce cannot come along, thanks to Adeline. And… I guess I will have to lie some more today."

He heard a knock on the door and already expected who they were. It was already starting to get dark so he knew that it was the Court maids who were outside his door.

"Yes, come in," he then watched the maids coming in with lanterns in their hands.
