Capítulo 351: Queen's Visit

Arlan descended the grand staircase to the foyer, preparing to depart for the Royal Court session. Oriana and Roman joined him, ready to see the Prince off. As Arlan reached the middle of the foyer, he came to an abrupt halt, and an icy chill settled in his eyes, causing everyone around him to pause as well.

Oriana, positioned behind him, couldn't discern the sudden shift in his expression. She wondered, 'Did he forget something important?'

Roman, positioned just behind Arlan, immediately stepped forward and bowed, inquiring, "Your Highness, is there a matter that requires your attention?"

"Dismiss everyone," Arlan commanded.

Roman glanced at the assembled servants and spoke, "You may all return to your duties."

With those words, everyone except Roman, Arlan's two knights, and Oriana left the foyer. Arlan turned to face Oriana and issued a strict directive, "Return to your room and do not leave unless I grant you permission."
