Chapter 32 The Key

• The king chose to ignore the queen’s comment since he did not want to start another argument. He still needed to get at the bottom of the assassination attempt so he had a lot of things to do. He told her to rest since the maidservants will be the ones to bring her things to the West Palace before leaving her alone in the room once again. Though, he was still bothered by the fact that the queen seemed to still be fine despite almost losing her life a few moments ago.
• Normally, a person would feel frightened or scared after going through such an ordeal but he could not just see a single hint of trauma from the queen. And the only thought that could answer the question in his mind was the conclusion that Emery had probably experienced such a thing more than once or twice in her life. He did not know if he should be comforting her or he should interrogate her instead. But either way, he also felt like the queen would simply choose to fight him.
• Meanwhile, Emery thought she would have a better sleep later on upon seeing the bigger bed compared to the one she used back in the Inner Palace. However, just when she was about to lie down, she felt like something was rather odd. Cocking her head to the side, she started to feel like something was missing ever since she stepped into the palace. She ran her fingers on the soft blanket as she cracked her head to pinpoint the thing she seemed to have forgotten.
