Chương 884: You will protect no one

"They've been waiting for a lifetime. Let's not make them wait for more."

Just as Aries could signal Suzanne to assist her, Gustav took a step forward. "Your Majesty —"

"Gustav, you will stick with your task tonight." Suzanne cut off whatever concern Gustav has to raise. "You might have other questions, but Her Majesty already chose me to assist her in her first coven."

Gustav's already knitted brows furrowed even more, darting his eyes between Aries and Suzanne. "Your Majesty."

"I know this upsets you, but I hope you understand I can't put everything in one basket." Aries offered Gustav a warm smile. 

"Do you not trust me, Your Majesty?"

"This is not about trust, Gustav." Aries shook her head mildly. "I trust you with all my life, but I believed protecting me right now isn't your priority. Your priority is to make my plans work."
