"P-please, Your Majesty, you can't just walk in here like that!"
A commotion outside her office made Aeliana furrow her brow as she set her pen down, looking up.
"The Queen is very busy! You need to make an appointment!"
As Aeliana was about to get up, hearing the shouts of the maids, the door burst open, revealing a panicked maid and... a man with snow-white hair cascading to his shoulders, his clear eyes matching the sky on a bright day.
"Ragnar…?"
Aeliana looked mildly surprised at the sudden appearance of the Frost King in her office. In fact, the Frost King being in EASC—Crimson territory—without warning was a significant matter.
Ragnar's presence alone had already broken numerous protocols.
With a sigh, Aeliana looked at the maid, whose face had gone pale as she trembled, shrinking in the presence of two powerful figures. She had tried to stop Ragnar as best she could without risking her head, but it had been in vain.
