Accompanied by guards, Vanilla returned to the palace in no time.
She stood in the magnificent hall of the palace, staring blankly ahead.
Her eyes looked somewhat lost, as if she had lost her way in the magnificent corridor.
With calm steps, Vanilla walked up the spiral staircase.
Upon reaching the steps, she glanced back at the guards still standing before the main hall and said softly:
"Captain Celia, you should go back and rest."
"I will explain to His Majesty on your behalf."
Upon hearing Vanilla's words, Celia bowed to her in respect and gratitude.
"yes."
"Thank you, Miss Vanilla."
Having said that, she led her subordinates and guards away from the palace.
Although Vanilla was merely the Queen's personal maid, her status in the palace was extremely prestigious.
Almost everyone holds her in the highest esteem.
Even some proud nobles were afraid of this demi-human maid.
As the most influential maidservant by the Empress's side, Vanilla was the only one who could speak directly with the Empress.
He was also the only confidant who accompanied the Queen for ten years.
Because of Vanilla's existence, the Empress further elevated the status of all demi-humans in the empire.
Most importantly, what those nobles feared most was...
Vanilla is a demi-human descendant of the Clevner family.
But at this moment, the catgirl from the Clevina family was filled with conflicting emotions.
She walked along the magnificent corridors of the palace, her feet on soft red carpets, but she had no time to appreciate the luxury around her.
Her thoughts were completely occupied by everything she saw at the Delin residence.
Unlike the others, almost no one could clearly see how the Crimson Armor escaped Grand Knight Gwen's attack during that chaotic battle.
But vanilla is different.
The demi-human retained almost all of her animalistic habits, so strictly speaking, she was a cat.
The human eye is much more sensitive than the human eye, and can clearly capture any subtle movement.
Not to mention that it had been modified by its owner.
Her cat-like eyes held the power of a hidden demonic corpse.
The movement trajectory of any living being is crystal clear to her.
So during the battle, no one else noticed.
But only Vanilla witnessed the crucial moment.
The owner, clad in crimson armor, swiftly appeared beneath the giant sword the moment the sword converged.
As Grand Knight Gwen's attack landed, he simultaneously slashed to the side of the greatsword.
This caused Knight Commander Gwen's attack to deviate slightly.
Ultimately, the devastating power did not reach its master.
Then, taking advantage of the rising dust and swirling frost, he...
The Delin Mansion, watched by tens of thousands of people, quietly departed.
No one noticed him leaving, except for Vanilla.
At that moment, no one thought that Victor's master had won.
Most people believe he was unable to withstand that terrible power.
Although the royal family eventually confirmed that the crimson armor had escaped, no one believed that Victor's master had won.
Strictly speaking, neither side had actually won or lost.
But if that attack is considered the key to victory, then Gwen, whose attack was countered, was the real loser.
Therefore, the owner won.
That's precisely why Vanilla feels so conflicted.
Should she reveal this to Her Majesty the Queen?
Judging from his master's attitude, he seemed unwilling to let the empress know his true identity.
As she walked and pondered, somewhat lost in thought,
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
Vanilla slowly raised her head, and before she knew it, she had arrived at Her Majesty the Queen's room.
It wasn't that she wanted to come here, Xiang Zilan knew.
Wherever Her Majesty the Queen wishes to summon her, she will eventually come here.
It is said that this is a unique magic created by His Majesty, inspired by the magic library in the mage capital.
Xiang Zilan breathed a sigh of relief and watched as the dormitory door slowly opened before walking in.
...
The room is decorated in a soft, light pink color scheme and has a faint jasmine fragrance.
In stark contrast to the golden splendor of the royal palace, there are no glittering jewels or ornaments here.
All the furniture and walls were covered in light pink, creating a fresh atmosphere.
The room wasn't large; for a queen of such high status, living here would even be considered cramped.
However, this perfectly sized space also feels warm and cozy.
Although everyone knows that the emperor has an incomparably magnificent palace.
But only Vanilla knew that the Queen chose to rest in this room where she felt at ease every night.
Vanilla stood quietly in the room, inhaling its fragrance, her gaze falling on a dimly lit corner of the large bed.
There were all sorts of animal dolls neatly arranged there.
Some have been carefully repaired, some are made of soft material, and there are even plush pillows and toys as tall as a person.
But now, Her Majesty the Queen is not in bed.
Just as Vanilla was about to search for Aurelion, a calm voice suddenly sounded behind her:
"Let's find a place to sit."
When Xiangzilan heard the sound, she turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
Through the gently pulled-up half-drape, she saw Aurelion stepping out of the bathroom.
In the dim light, glistening water droplets sparkled like diamonds as they slowly slid down the Queen's silver hair.
