Capítulo 54: Insist

Desmond's message, transmitted through the power of magic, reached Elizabeth, who nodded in acknowledgment. Observing her assent, the guards standing near her promptly dispersed, clearing the shop and leaving the princess alone with the enigmatic young man and his maid.

Her gaze remained fixed upon Desmond and his maid, subtly assessing them. Though the young man had disclosed his true name, Elizabeth recognized the need for vigilance, born out of her royal responsibilities.
