Chapter 199: Locked In Shed

"Word has reached my ears that a sneaky creature has dared to infiltrate the sanctity of our palace grounds," Adrien's voice cut through the silence like a chilling wind, his tone cold and foreboding. As he surveyed the crowd with an icy stare, a shiver ran down the spine of every maid and servant present.

Silent gasps escaped from the assembled group, their eyes wide with fear as they exchanged anxious glances with one another. The gravity of Adrien's words hung heavy in the air, casting a pall of apprehension over the room.

"Let me make this clear," Adrien continued, his voice dripping with menace. "Anyone caught aiding or abetting this intruder will face severe consequences. There will be no mercy for those who dare to betray the trust of the palace and its inhabitants."

His words echoed ominously in the tense atmosphere, sending a chill down the spine of everyone within earshot.
