Chapter 41: /41/ What rumors?

"Who is it?" Taffi asked and waited for a response before deciding whether or not to open the door.

"Greeting my lord," a guard greeted from the other side, and Taffi opened the door, just enough for his head to pass through.

With a bow, the guard reported,

"The King is ready to see you now, My Lord,"

"I'll be with him immediately," Taffi replied with a sigh a, before closing the door and returning to his damsel to finish what he had started.

However, as soon as he approached her, she said,

"We should see the King now, we can't keep him waiting." Sania was relieved for a moment, as much as she agreed from the start, she also realized that she needed a few minutes to think about it, and the guard interrupting them was a good escape plot.

"Yes, yes we should," Taffi answered with a smile. Surely he was disappointed to have been stopped in the middle of something, but like Sania had said, it'd be unmannered to keep a King waiting.
