Chapter 78

• Skamerius wanted to cover the Crown Prince’s eyes even before they entered the palace gates around noon the following day after the siege. The dead bodies were hauled and transported by carriages by the soldiers and royal guards, as they cleared the palace grounds. However, he thought that the child should see all this and get used to it. It was the reality, and he was the kingdom’s Crown Prince. He couldn’t shield him from it.
• The horse-drawn carriage went through the palace gates. Nobody stopped them. The royal guards already recognized Karrius, who was the coach driver. He caught sight of the barbarian spy burning someone’s body. He could only take a guess whose remains were those.
• When they reached the king’s residence, Skamerius assisted the Crown Prince to jump off the carriage, and Karrius helped the foreteller. The head eunuch got off, as well as the other servants. The children directly went in, and he followed. He noticed Muvreus in the room, too. He was injured, but it looked nothing serious. He had no idea what he felt when the latter suddenly turned his head to stare at him with those blue piercing eyes. He simply looked away and talked to the Flower General, who apparently just gave birth.
