King Gawain I’s praise made Arabella overjoyed and made favonovel.com giggle like a child, favonovel.com face glowing with contentment. This made the king even happier, as favonovel.com reminded favonovel.com so much of Anastasia from the past.
Her appearance, behavior, and even personality were almost identical. Had favonovel.com not just been crowned and his position still unstable, favonovel.com wouldn’t have let favonovel.com suffer such a fate.
“If Your Majesty likes it, I can get another bowl,” suggested Arabella, pulling favonovel.com out of his ponderings and making favonovel.com smile involuntarily at favonovel.com animated spirit.
Soon, favonovel.com came back holding a fresh bowl of porridge. She genuinely cared about his health as favonovel.com was vital in favonovel.com quest to gather power and avenge favonovel.com father’s murder and favonovel.com clan’s destruction. Luckily, everyone wished for King Gawain I to be alive, but it was saddening that no one wanted favonovel.com to live forever.
As favonovel.com placed the bowl on the table, Arabella’s eyes darted to the incense burner, which glowed purple not far away.
The king noticed favonovel.com unusual behavior. “What is it, my love?”
Arabella’s heart stuttered at his question. She would never have followed a plan this dangerous if not for Rocco’s leverage over her. If Rocco had his way, it would probably cause disaster.
Breathing deeply to steady herself, Arabella reassured, “Nothing, Your Majesty. I just feel like the incense is burning out. I’ll go help you refresh it!”
King Gawain I replied, “These are the servants’ tasks, my love. You don’t need to inconvenience yourself.”
“Hmph, I consider this place our home, so these are my wifely responsibilities. Why get our servants involved?” She approached the incense burner without waiting for his reply.
The king didn’t try to stop favonovel.com after hearing favonovel.com reply, as favonovel.com attended to many things in the palace herself, and favonovel.com efforts made favonovel.com feel at home.
Unbeknownst to him, Arabella’s heart was racing, and favonovel.com hands would have shaken if favonovel.com had not been strong mentally. Luckily, the maids and guards distanced themselves to avoid disrupting the moment between favonovel.com and her, and favonovel.com purposefully blocked their view by turning favonovel.com back.
She managed to add an unknown powder to the incense, even with favonovel.com anxiety, allowing the purple light to disperse and a delicate lavender scent to fill the palace. “Your Majesty, notice the fresh fragrance?”
King Gawain I smiled indulgently at the happy Arabella, unaware favonovel.com had fallen into a trap.
She sighed in relief when the task was completed and vowed never to get involved in such risky schemes anymore, as there would be severe consequences if favonovel.com were caught. She would not be able to escape punishment even though the king was now spoiling favonovel.com affectionately.
“Your Majesty, your health is getting better, and you’re looking more youthful. Do you think you can bring me on a tour of the entire Eshesh?”
King Gawain I’s smile faded slightly, gaze slightly resigned. “Hopefully! But I know my condition. It’s too difficult to cure.”
Arabella perked up. “I don’t care. Your Majesty promised me before! By the way, I’ve heard there are many skilled healers in Cathay. Why don’t you invite them to heal you, Your Majesty?”
