Kapitel 133: Listen closely

After my enlightening chat with the Queen Dowager, I need to talk with Ignis. What we found out about the plan to marry the Princess needs to be known by him.

«Do you remember the message you caught?» I ask him as soon as he crosses the door. He'll stay in my room tonight. Oh, maybe I should have greeted him first.

We haven't seen each other yet, and the first thing I say is related to court intrigues.

«I mean... Welcome back, my dear,» I correct my words.

I even smile, pulling him towards the bed.

«How was your day?» I inquire while making him sit. I jump behind him on the bed, and I start massaging his shoulders.

«What do I owe this treatment to?» he asks, peeking at my expression.

His eyes are curious, but he waits for my explanation before doing anything.

«I'm just in the mood,» I say.

«Is that so? Tell me what caused your mood, and I'll make sure it happens again.»

«I talked with the Queen Dowager.»
