Kapitel 267: It's never over (1)

After chatting with a girl who knows, simply knows, things, I'm ready to return to my husband. I sign the declaration without reading it, and we get ready to return outside. I can trust Ignis and Adelphium, so there's no need to waste time with the clauses.

«I hope to see you here again,» Adelphium says.

«Oh, sure.»

«She would be happy to talk with you again.»

«I know,» is my reply. «But she can come to the Palace, right? Unless you have something against it...»

«Oh, no. Not at all.»

That said, we turn towards the exit. The Royal Guards have left me alone to talk with Ilenya, but I'm now back to being the Queen and have to walk next to Ignis at the pace we trained again and again at the Palace. It's a matter of image, more than actual security: they want everyone to see how the Royal Couple is protected.
