Chapter 39

• “If it’s not impossible for me to do, then I will carry it out, Your Majesty,” General Ril’m answered quickly. There was no little pea of reluctance at all.
• “Could you stay in the palace for a few days until I’m fine? I’m just worried about the Crown Prince. After what’s happened today, I won’t feel at ease that he’s all alone there. Both his uncle and I are so sick, we can barely move, and we don’t want him to catch what we have. You’re the only one I can trust with my son’s safety, General.”
• There was something in his voice that made Ril’m’s throat constrict and her eyes flicker. “It’s an honor to be trusted by you, Your Majesty. Of course, I will stay by the prince’s side as per your request.”
