Chapter 133: CXXXIII: she is dead

Aurora hurried back to her home in the forest as she tried to communicate with the king all the way there. He had blocked her out and she was not making any progress.

She went through the busy streets hastily not caring about the laws against riding fast on a busy street. 

She did not care about those people forced to hurry away from the road when she approached as her goal to reach the palace before her maid was executed kept her mind unfocused on other things.
