章 401: Restless Dragon

At Thistle Palace.

Imbert walked into Arlan's study and respectfully bowed before him, addressing him with a formal tone, "Your Highness."

Arlan paused his work, focusing his attention on Imbert, eager to hear the latest news.

"Her Highness has not emerged from her chamber since last night when she returned to the guest mansion. Her Lady-in-Waiting, Lady Ana, is tending to her, and she's even summoned Physician Winfield. It appears Her Highness is unwell," Imbert reported.

Arlan displayed no immediate reaction and resumed his work, inquiring casually, "Have there been any indications of her wanting to depart?"

Imbert responded, "No, Your Highness. But it seems the events of the previous night have left her deeply shaken, and she has fallen ill. It must have been a considerable shock for her."
