Chapter 404 Is Killing You An Honor Too?
As soon as the announcement was heard, everyone in the room instinctively turned toward the sound.
Moments later, a group of over a dozen soldiers in the Sunset Empire’s military uniforms entered the room.
At the front of the group was a striking young woman, around twenty–five or twenty–six, with delicate features and a cold, refined air. She wore a fitted white combat uniform, her presence sharp and commanding.
The moment Raven laid eyes on her, the cold in her gaze seemed to plummet even further.
She could feel it–the aura of Zach’s Innate Starcard coming from this woman!
“Beside her, however, Hiemaly let out a faint breath of relief.
He didn’t know why, but Saxon and their little boss hadn’t come along with Lola from the airport.”
Saxon was whatever.
The good part was the little boss didn’t follow.
Even the icy edge of Hiemaly’s face seemed to soften ever so slightly.
What he didn’t know was that Lola had rushed ahead after hearing the news of the princess’s critical condition.
At that very moment, Saxon was escorting a regal and cold–tempered little boy through the royal palace’s main gate- heading straight for them.
“Welcome, Your Highness!”
As Raven locked eyes with Lola, Rupert quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
The rest of the doctors, including John, all bowed in unison. “Your Highness.”
Lola walked forward with a calm stride, her eyes indifferent as she swept a glance over the kneeling crowd.
She was just about to tell them to rise when her gaze suddenly fell upon Raven and Hiemaly.
She didn’t recognize them–but in the midst of all those bowing figures, the two of them stood out like a sore thumb.
She narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brow slightly.
Before she could speak, a middle–aged officer behind her stepped forward and barked coldly, “You two–why haven’t you bowed before Her Highness?”
She turned to Rupert and asked, “How is the princess?”
