68 Uneasy

Nikolai directly stopped by the Queen's private quarters the moment they arrived at a Valcrez ship handled by Admiral Sixto. Mineah was happy to be back to standing on her own two feet, and she smiled when she saw her welcoming party.

"Welcome back, Your Majesties!"

Like clockwork, Mineah's three Shadow Maidens beamed the moment she appeared before them. She gave them a curt nod as Nikolai addressed them.

"I will leave my wife in your care, my ladies…" he hummed with a smile before he turned to her and said, "I'll see you soon." 

And with that, he disappeared without a trace, leaving the four of them to their own devices.

"We should get ready now, milady," Zaila stated as she moved to start undressing her. "Let's get you into your gown." 

Mineah nodded, and she smiled upon seeing how Nik had landed near her window. Her three Shadow Maidens quickly took note of its presence, and she simply chuckled as she introduced her new pet.
