Chapter 43

JOHANNA.

After four hours of sleep, I felt light again. The dream had stopped bothering me, and I was now focused on the reason I returned to my clan. I was undressing, loosening my hair and the jewelry that I slept off with.

“Supreme King's Consort!!!” came an announcement from the door.

She wasn't at the gathering. Why then is she coming in here? I dropped the bangle on the table. “Come in!!” I responded, and she was led in instantly. “You weren't present in the hall chamber. I think that's an offense since it has to do with the throne and my father's death….” I turned to face her.

She lowered her head. “Forgive me! I caught a cold and had fallen asleep at that time….”

Really? I scoffed and sat down. “What brings you here?”

“It's about the death of the Supreme King. These days, I have tried to look into his death, and that's how I caught a cold. I can't believe he just died that way.” she sniffled, tears welling in her eyes. Some people are just good at acting and should go for it.
