บท 90: Nothing Comes for Free

Another morning came, and this time, even the faintest view of the sun was nowhere to be found. Despite this, the smell of damp trees made the air feel fresh and clean as Mineah walked her way toward the Corvus Palace's throne hall. 

Today, she would do her usual duties of attending the indoor court meetings with Nikolai and meeting with the rest of the Clans once more.

"Ah, I can't wait for the Midnight Sun to come," Zaila murmured behind her. Mineah's two shadow maidens were currently walking behind her with Dani beside her.

"True, only after that we can get out of the palace," Krisha commented. "Then again, Dani said that our Queen will have even more engagements once she was allowed outside." 

Mineah hummed to herself in approval. If she recalled, Dani was coordinating closely with the royal court to organize her schedule well after the Midnight Sun Waiting.
