บท 148: A MINUTE LATE

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: FLY BEFORE YOU FALL ~ CYNTHIA ERIVO] 

Almaria got herself ready; according to Panha's letter that she received, everything was now set for her to attack the palace. As if her star was helping them, someone abducted Kitanna from the palace, making everyone, including Nix, disoriented. She was so happy that things were finally working out in her favour.

Stepping out of her room, she went to join the Supreme King in his carriage. Almaria smiled when she saw the number of soldiers they were leaving with. There was no way Kitanna would be prepared for their attack. She was helped by a maid to get inside the carriage.

"Don't you look quite lovely today, Almaria," Venantius smiled, touching the side of her face.

Almaria gave him a sweet smile before sitting close to him. "That is because the Supreme king has been taking care of me." She bowed her head gently.
