Chapter 199 - A Quest for the Perfect Plate

Princess Alora emerged gracefully from her chamber, and her maid, Grace, approached. "Your Highness," she greeted with a respectful bow.

"Have you heard any news about Baron Broken?" Princess Alora inquired.

Grace bowed again in response. "Baron Broken hasn't returned yet. But the guards said he was last seen logging out in the garden near the castle's rear exit."

"Thank you, Grace," Alora replied with a gentle smile. "I'll head there now."

Alora made her way to the garden, deciding to walk alone and enjoy the fresh morning air. Her outfit was simpler for the day, a flowing gown that contrasted with the battle armor she often wore. The garden was serene, bathed in soft sunlight, providing the perfect backdrop for a moment of tranquility.
