Chapter 51

• While they were seated at a table on the terrace sharing a jug of tea that the king poured himself into each of their cups where everyone at the grounds could see them, Ril’m reported to the king what the enemy’s spy had told her. They discussed some possible measures to protect the people and the royal palace from possible sudden attacks.
• “The royal bodyguards and the Karavil Army are always ready. The palace can withstand a month’s worth of isolation and defense.”
• “Aside from that, you must have another extra measure, Your Majesty. We don’t know if the enemy has already planted a spy inside the palace.”
