บท 250: [Bonus chapter]A slice of the cake

After the meeting with the King, Arabeus Malva needs a day to recover from the stress. He asks me not to meet, and I tell him it's all right. I can wait for a day more.

Like this, in just two days, he can't go too far. And I avoid being too suspicious by holding him busy every single afternoon.

As for the mysterious man visiting Lars, I need to investigate.

When Flavius enters the room with a dark face, I am ready for the interrogation.

«Hello, is everything all right?» I start.

He shakes his head but doesn't say a word.

«What's making you so mad?»

«The old wench wanted to hear about Lars. She also said I can't call him by name... Who is she to order me around? I listen to Ignatius only.»

«She's the Queen Grandmother,» I point out.
