Chapter 417: Back To The Palace

Esther returned to the Royal Palace of Megaris early the next morning. Upon receiving the news, Sir Galien hurried to the King's chamber to inform his liege. 

"Your Majesty, Queen Esther has returned to the palace!"

King Theron, whose clothes were being attended to by his personal servants, looked at his grinning image reflected on the large mirror in front of him. 'I knew you would return to me.'

"Your Majesty, do you want me to inform the Queen that you will be coming to see her?" Sir Galien asked. "Should I inform the royal kitchen that you will be having your morning meal together?"

"No need," he replied. Though the young king wished to see his wife desperately, he wanted to let her settle her feelings first. He wished her to take her time and come to him on her own. Knowing Esther, he was sure the wait wouldn't be long.
