Chapitre 136: The Queen's Interest

The grand throne room of the Regarian royal palace was bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun, which streamed in through the tall stained-glass windows. The light fell on Queen Aurelia, illuminating her regal form as she sat on her throne, her deep crimson gown shimmering like a cascade of blood. Her golden hair, loose and free, framed her sharp features. She leaned forward slightly, her cold, piercing blue eyes narrowing as she addressed the knight before her.

"What did you say?" she demanded, her voice low but carrying a weight that made the knight's spine stiffen.

The knight, clad in the polished armor of the royal guard, shifted uncomfortably under the queen's intense gaze. His brow was damp with sweat, not from fear but from the enormity of what he had just reported. He cleared his throat, trying to maintain his composure.
