Chapter 190: His Regent

Meanwhile, back at Cordon Castle, the Queen Mother had received a lot of questions regarding the sudden disappearance of the king along with his mate. She had already stated the reasons yesterday, and here they were again, questioning the sudden absence of the king as if she hadn't just explained it earlier. 

Apparently, not all of them bought the alibi that the King made about his visit to the Kingdom of Valcrez for peace talks to ensure that the alliance between their kingdoms was still solid after the incident regarding the Beholden Law. 

Of course, she had already expected this scenario to happen long before it happened. It's just that she was starting to grow weary of those using this incident against her son, blabbering about with nonsense only to show how they were against their king.
