Capítulo 141: Lifting A Finger

"Jeez, Mom. I can wipe myself clean." Maxen pulled his face away from Queen Isla but his mother was not someone who won't get what she wanted.

"Everyone, hold Maxen down. I need to clean his face."

"Seriously?" Maxen's eyes bulged out of its sockets, finding his mother's early morning nagging incredulous. Bending to her will, and to her height, he let her wipe off the lipstick stain on his face, and could not help but smile as he listened to Queen Isla hum whilst her eyes were trained on his face.

When she was satisfied with her handiwork, she gave him a double pat on the shoulders. "Jack," she called forth. "Maxen and I will talk in the tea room."

"As you wish, Your Majesty." Jack gave a curt nod, gesturing to the tea room's way. His mind was in a trainwreck, cooking up a back-up plan in his thoughts just in case the king decided to give Notios Estate a visit too.
