C382. Pawns and Plans
Located within the Emerald Palace.
One of the Jaxith family's royal knights ran through the palace corridors as she barged into the room at the end of the hallway.
"Princess Athena!"
The knight opened the door in a fluster as though she had ran here as fast as she could the moment she was given her order. She had also completely forgotten to knock, nor wait outside until permitted to enter.
Normally, this would've been a punishable offense.
However, her lack of manners was not a result of disrespect but instead implied something had happened which flustered her to the extent of forgoing her training and duties as a royal knight.
Athena could easily understand what had happened. However, in front of the palace workers including the maids, Athena did not display her usual charisma as she choose to display the attitude of a spoilt and pampered princess with the lowest magic potential in the family.
