Bab 109: Rumors

The next morning, Tarah chose to remain inside Jade Palace instead of accompanying the Ward Royal Family to attend the wedding of the Duke of East Ebodia's daughter, who happened to be Commander Atlas's only sibling.

As she walked through the palace, the few chosen servants of the prince she passed by greeted her with the utmost respect. Cora informed her beforehand that the servants currently inside the Jade Palace were securely briefed about her presence, not as a seer, but as the prince's future queen. Though she wasn't privy to the exact details, she felt a slight awkwardness meeting their gazes.

Making her way to her favorite spot in the courtyard, she found solace under the shade of a cherry blossom tree. Sitting at the bench, she released a heavy sigh and mumbled, "I shouldn't worry since he will soon rise as the most powerful king." Ezekiel would be hailed as the dragon king, respected by many but feared by his enemies.
