บท 445: Intense Killing Intent

Back in the Capital, Aria was a bit absentminded shortly after Leon left while she was still in the Inner Palace grounds with Elizabeth, Heinrich, and Darlene.

Elizabeth noticed and said with a smile, "Aria, you don't need to stay here with us. If you want to chase after Leon, go for it."

"But Leon asked me to look after…" Aria said hesitantly while looking at Darlene.

"It's fine. Leave Darlene with us and go." Elizabeth smiled and helplessly said, "Someone needs to keep him in check. Otherwise, he will force all the maids and guards out of the palace for his wives and children one day."

Darlene's face immediately reddened. She lowered her head in shame. 

However, Elizabeth walked over and comforted her, "Don't worry. I am not blaming you. It is just that my son is... He is… Well, sigh. Never mind. You'll see."

"Then… I'll be off?" Aria asked hesitantly in confirmation.

"Go."

Elizabeth and Heinrich nodded.
