Chapter 113: Asked Out

CHAPTER 113

"Yes, please. If it isn't much trouble, your grace," Era began, taking a little pause to get clarity first. 

"No worries, ask."

She took in a deep breath, keeping her poker face straight to the best of her abilities, trying to hide her nervousness.

"I would love permission to access the Chambers of Chronicles."

Vidor took a long pause, studying her first before saying anything.

"Why might I ask?"

Earlier on, the moment she asked, he was tempted to say yes but when he studied her and saw how nervous she was, he took his time to analyze what she might want with the chronicles all of a sudden."

"Nothing really. I believe as Etheria's queen if I want to function properly on my duties, I should study the chronicles well enough to understand what has been. It would help me make the right decisions and also avoid making similar mistakes my ancestors might have made."
