Discovery

On the second day, a new chamber was built beside James VIII's chamber.

The chamber didn't have extravagant decorations, just a simple place with a line of sharp and clean words carved on it: Grave of James VIII"s good friend, Eldar.

It was what Mary wrote herself and was etched by the royal craftsman in the shortest time possible.

Although it was against the rules to place non-royalty beside a king's chamber in the royal tomb, everyone who witnessed what happened last night didn't have anything to say about it.

In fact, even if objections were voiced out, they wouldn't do any good.

Mary was exceptionally persistent in this case.

"Your Highness, some less than pleasant rumours are circulating around the palace." 

Duke Zilin told Mary softly during her break.

"Is it about Duke Eldar?" Mary asked without lifting her head.

"Yes." The young duke nodded.
