Chapter 129: Sanctuary

"You summoned me, Your Highness?" Margaret asked as she entered Laina's study room. 

Laina smiled as she put down her pen. As Margaret arrived before the Crown Princess, she realized there was someone standing next to her. It was not Kol. It was Marius. 

"Indeed I have. Marius has come to visit. Would you mind bringing him around Kinshearth? He's currently on a break and would like to do some sightseeing," Laina explained with a wide smile. 

Realizing she had walked into a trap, Margaret turned around to leave. But it was too late. Kol was blocking the door. Laina cleared her throat, surprised that Margaret wanted to flee despite her giving a direct order.
