Capítulo 175: 173: The hall of the princess

“You are not going to come in again?” Maria asked her baked guard who stopped in front of the main door. To Maria, it felt like she was being led into a trap all on her own. She had been assured that her life was not in danger but Maria could not help how she felt trapped.

The only reason she knew that her life was not in danger was that her instincts were not screaming at her to run. Nor did she have a vision that could tell her what was about to happen.

“Only invited guests and members of the princess’s harem are allowed entry. A lowly guard such as me has no business entering this palace” the guard explained. She looked pinched for some reason but Maria was not courteous enough to ask.

Besides, she had just met the guard a few hours ago. She did not feel close enough to her to make such personal comments just this early in their relationship.
