Chapter 750: Disrespectful Behaviour

As Archer and the five girls followed behind Helga into the palace, they laughed at the older woman's nonsensical dislike towards him, which only added to their amusement. Archer then opened a Gate to the domain, allowing the others to join.

The seven who had fled the cold weather outside reappeared, each greeting Archer with a peck on the cheek and exchanging hellos with the others before they continued. Ella joined Leira on his other side as the girls gossiped about the Frostwinter Festival.

While they walked through the hallways, Archer noticed a flurry of activity, with numerous maids busy with their tasks. Leira leaned in as they passed two women engrossed in cleaning the large windows overlooking the palace's garden.

''Mother loves keeping to the old Elderbloom cleaning tradition,'' she whispered. ''She enjoys helping the maids, which amuses my Father, but she loves it, so it makes him happy.''
