Kapitel 365: Metallic Smell

“Wouldn’t it be better to leave this task to the soldiers?” one of the maids asked Percy when he ordered them to protect the Queen.

It was not that Percy didn’t have this idea. However, at the moment, that wasn’t possible. “I don’t have the authority to mobilize the soldiers as per my wish. And those who have the authority aren’t here in the castle. Besides, the Queen also needs tending to. She’s… covered in blood and her clothes need changing.”

The maids exchanged worried glances with each other and another maid asked, “Then why didn’t you order the Queen’s handmaids? You know we will be affected by the blood.”

Percy was now already feeling restless from all the questioning. However, he still answered the maids instead of shutting them down and making them feel uncomfortable.
