Chapter 776: Tonight's Fiesta

[ Mainland: Royal Palace ]

"Maximus had it coming all, after all. I do not intend to interfere."

Gustav walked through the dimly lit hallway, recalling the words that had been in his head for some time now. His expression was stiff and his steps were unfaltering. Soon, he reached a certain door, lifting his chin as he gazed upon the wide door. 

A shallow breath slipped past his lips, reaching for the knob. He didn't knock, but he carefully opened the door. The loud creak the door made announced his arrival, letting anyone inside the chamber know there was a person entering. 

The room was dark. There was not a single candle that was lit, but Gustav's eyes shone a bright red in the dark. 

"You should go," said Gustav as soon as his eyes fell on the person sitting in the dark. "She will need you in there."

His eyes were fixed on the dark corner of the room. There, curled in the dark, was Suzanne, the queen's lady-in-waiting.
