Kapitel 182: Meeting the Great Elder Maximus [Bonus chapter]

The coachman soon announced that they had arrived at the Maximus Estate so Raymond's stories were cut.

Raymond got out first and escorted Arabella out of the carriage. Everyone gasped when it was her in the carriage and not Clarisse.

[It is Her Majesty!]

[She's so beautiful!]

[I finally get to see the Empress. I'm glad I attended this party.]

[Why is she with the Prime Minister?]

[His Majesty is not her date?]

[Isn't Her Majesty supposed to be escorted by His Majesty?]

[Would His Majesty arrive with another woman? I thought he loved Her Majesty?]

Everyone had the same thoughts since the news about Ferdinand leaving for the northern borders a few days ago was still just a rumor.

Only those who had families among the knights who went with Ferdinand were sure that it was true.

"Her Imperial Majesty, Arabella Lobelius Valeria, has arrived. May everyone be honored with her presence," the courtier announced and the attendees bowed. Raymond's presence was announced after hers.
