Chapter 257: Panic in the capital

- POV General -

While little Shiro was sleeping peacefully now in the arms of her two mothers, things were much less so in the human capital. It had been almost two months since the army of Knights and Paladins had left, yet there was no news. Not only was this incomprehensible, but now, in addition to the Princess, the King himself was missing or worse. 

The entire city and its inhabitants were asleep, but in a room of the huge royal castle, a heated debate was taking place. For the first time in years, the debating chamber had been opened to the most prominent members of Zal, nobles of the Kingdom and Protectors of the Church. The two factions were separated on either side and a deafening din of reproach echoed up to the high ceiling.
