Chapitre 448: I Trapped Her

Half an hour passed, and Julien started feeling anxious, wondering about Amaya's well-being or if they had inadvertently put another person in danger. Amaya, having given birth a mere two weeks ago, had endured a difficult delivery and struggled with weakened health owing to substantial blood loss.

Leaving Arlan to her lady-in-waiting, who was quietly waiting outside on her master's orders, Julien headed to the rear of the palace.

She reached an empty, dimly lit corridor with a few rooms. Julien wondered in which room Edna might be. Just then, the door of one room opened, and a woman's figure stumbled out, falling to the ground.

Julien recognized Amaya and rushed towards her. She knelt on the floor, cradling Amaya's injured body in her arms. "Amaya, are you hurt?"

"I-It's alright," Amaya replied in a pained voice. "I took care of it."

"Did you... kill her...?" Julien asked, concerned that she forgot to tell Amaya they couldn't kill her.
