Thirteen and Cranky followed behind Erasmus, who was taking them to the most well-protected area of the palace.
They had passed through several guards along the way, each one surprised to see the two people following their King.
Their destination was none other than the Inner Palace, where Queen Miriamele resided.
Thirteen had wanted to meet the Queen, assured that only she had some answers to his questions.
"Make sure to not provoke my wife, okay?" Erasmus said in a teasing tone, which made the corner of Thirteen's lips twitch.
He had no idea how the Queen was treating her new "husband," but Thirteen had a feeling that if the two were to ever share a room, Erasmus would be sleeping on the floor, not the bed.
When they arrived at the inner chambers of the Queen, the teenage boy suddenly felt the blood inside his body stir, as if reacting to something… or someone.
"Wife, I'm here," Erasmus declared as he opened the door.
