章 51: Loriel Apologizes

Loriel decided to visit Elise in her chamber. He asked the butler, Horatio, to bring a tray filled with food for his wife. He would make it his excuse to come to her.

"Elise." Loriel knocked on Elise's door. "Please open the door."

He waited for five minutes before the door was opened from the inside. There, he saw his wife stand by the doorway.

"Your Majesty." Elise curtseyed.

She was no longer crying. Loriel suspected that it took her a while to open the door because she was pulling herself together and removed the traces of tears from her face.

He decided not to discuss it, pretending that he didn't know. Didn't Zaff tell him not to make his wife stressed?

"Have you eaten?" Loriel asked her. His right hand signed Horatio to bring food inside.

Elise looked up and pursed her lips when she saw the butler enter her chamber with the tray.

"Your Majesty..." she said with a halting voice.
