Chương 229: With Whose Permission?

Late in the afternoon, Martha came to Oriana's room.

"A servant from Griven came with a message for you. He is waiting downstairs.". 

Oriana had a bad premonition, but she followed Martha out to see a familiar face waiting by the foyer. It was Damien. "What happened?"

"His Highness has summoned you back, Orian," her fellow attendant explained. 

She followed the young man after bidding Martha a few words of gratitude. Martha could only watch her leave, aware why she was called by Arlan. Thick worry could be seen in her eyes. 

'It has not even been a week since she learned the truth about her identity as a witch. I am not sure how many shocking things this child will have to witness in the coming days. I hope she can stay strong.'
