Chương 109: BARGAINS OF THE BANISHED

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: GOD SAVE THE QUEEN 👑 ~ TRADITIONAL ARR. ELGAR]

The news about Misam being a spy all along replaced the gossip of Khelan being banished. It was as if the palace was in that seasonal hotspot where all the juicy fruits fell at a particular spot. In this case, the juicy fruits were replaced by gossips among the palace servants, which started from the maids. Everyone wanted to chip in or even argue about how they knew Misam was not to be trusted. Others said it was just a lie, that the princess was losing her mind and wanted to harm maids. It wouldn't be long before she got her claws on others. The gossips ripened day after day, making the palace a noisy place to stay.

These gossips did not pass Hieron by; they latched onto his windows and doorstep, according to him, but Nix did not believe. He knew his grandfather enjoyed listening to gossips more than anyone.
