Chapter 39: CHAPTER 39 : You purse your lips when you lie

"It's treason! If indeed the king of Meria sent their prince and that woman to cast some sort of a spell on prince Adam then they directly attacked the crown! I say we wage war!"

"Are you daft?! The prince is probably in Meria as we speak, if we wage war now he might be caught up in the crossfire!"

"So you suggest we just sit back and watch?!

"Shall I remind you all that my daughter Julia is heading to Meria as well, a war would uncover her identity and she could be killed."
