Chapter 92

Wan'er had not expected the Queen to injure her arm, but he quickly helped her back to her bedchamber. After he left, a dozen figures silently emerged within the Royal Palace. They exchanged glances before swiftly making their way to the spot where the Queen had fired the weapon. They traced the path of the projectile to the wall and were horrified to discover that the bullet had not only punched through the wall but had also carved a deep hole into the pillar behind it. A chill ran through them; had those projectiles struck them, they would have been dead without any chance of survival. Fortunately, those two young girls seemed to harbor no ill will toward the Kingdom. The Queen had truly hit the jackpot by taking them as her goddaughters. Although they were dying to get their hands on that weapon to examine it closely, they restrained themselves. Since the items had fallen into the Queen's possession, they could not be so shameless as to seize them; however, borrowing such novel weaponry for a look would certainly be acceptable. After all, this Queen was a daughter-in-law personally selected by their ancestors, and her loyalty to the royal family was beyond reproach. Had they known about the suit of armor the Queen was wearing, they would have been even more terrified.
