Chapter 97 Sixteen

• Days went by so fast that the day of the banquet soon came. All the high officials and the most prestigious family in Morana were invited by king Luther. As for the king's of the merged kingdom, three high official was sent to stand in place of them.
• The sun was setting as the banquet began. Zara stood before the mirror gazing at her reflection. She was cladded in an elegant white flowing dress with it's strap perfectly knotted into a bow at the back and her hair neatly styled in a low bun. Lia who stood behind her, also stared at her reflection in the mirror with a smile on her face. "My queen, I'll find a way to sneak into the mines when everyone is busy at the banquet."
• "Be careful Lia. If the king or anyone gets a whimp of this, they'll either send you to the mines or kill you," Zara said turning to look at her. It wasn't easy convincing the king to let Lia stay with her, luckily Valthor had helped her to convince him for some unknown reason. She still couldn't understand the man's motive for helping her most times.
