chapter seventeen: “her servants outside the realm of thorns.”

—

     “GOODNIGHT, DEAR KAEYA AND THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME DO MY COMMISSIONS.”

THE DOTING MOTHER FIGURE uttered as she pat his head, smiling at him. The knights passing were surprised their Cavalry Captain was smiling brightly at her gesture—pretty much feeling loved from it before he bid goodbye. Her bright expression turned into a serious one once she held the doorknob, turning it...

     "How strange..." She remarked, seeing the basket of his gifts scattered on her table. She could feel a faint presence and darted her gaze on her bed, a Queen of Hearts seen above it, "Ah... Good evening, Rosehearts. I believe you have come bearing news?" She asked.

Hiding for a total of five hundred years is a difficult thing to achieve, (Name) alone couldn't just take the credit for hiding her land in the eyes of the seven regions. Seven groups were sent to put a watch and serve as eyes for the Queen to ensure their secrecy—she granted them her vision or what you call unique magic to guarantee their safety from the outside lands...

     A red-headed male appeared, bowing before her, "Good evening, Your Majesty. I do bear the news to share," he uttered. "General Vanrouge has sent his regards about you joining the Adventurer's Guild, so everyone is aware of your presence. However, your arrival has caused faults from certain individuals you have met."

     (Name) sighed, "I understand. Do elaborate on the faults I have caused," she said. "Let's see if I can fix it before it grows worse."

     "Understood, My Queen." He nodded and pulled a scroll, gathering his courage to tell his Queen's faults. "Your arrival caused a great impact in Mondstat at the moment—The Anemo Archon, Dawn Winery's heir, and Cavalry Captain are one of them. At the moment, Mr. Ragnvindr is searching for your identity while Mr. Alberich is very cautious of you."

     "Continue."

     "You may have caught the eye of several authorities... Including the Cryo Archon and her Allogene, the Fatui," he continued. "Your former husband, the King of Khaenri'ah who is now known as The Jester knows of your existence. This disguised human existence, Your Majesty..." He said.

(Name) pursed her lips together, hearing the title again. The reason why Lilia went to Snezhnaya the other day was to spy on the Fatui, specifically her husband to check on him. She must've been a bit careless about letting others know her existence and she needs to get rid of it before it worsens...
