Chapter 390: Silvi’s Initiative
Derek watched Sabrina’s future mother-in-law drag her out of the Throne Room—her maid, Jessica, trailed behind, and Elouise soon followed. Soon enough, it was just the men left in the room. Well… I’ve done my part, he thought.
“Okay...

Derek stepped out of the void, carrying a crimson-faced Sabrina. In front of them, Ryven, Edwin, Adviser Musgrave, and Sabrina’s maid, Jessica, waited in anticipation—Ryven already had a stern look on his face. With a shake of his head, barely believing where and ...

Derek, with Silvi still perched on his shoulder after coming out of the vault, left Tyler alone in the treasury to clean up while he sneaked away. As for Tyler? The young man was still standing in the center of the room, staring stunned in Derek’s direction as they ...

The heat was everything Derek had come to expect from Silvi’s flames. In fact, with it being so concentrated and on a small area, and the fact that this was pretty much the closest he’d ever been to the flames, it may have been even hotter than usual. A bead of sweat ...

Derek watched for a while as Edward, Osian, and Tevara made their rounds between all the nobles. Everyone was trying to be as cordial as possible to what was essentially the new leaders of the kingdom, so it didn’t seem like he needed to worry about an attack coming ...
