Chapter 477
Athena’s gare locked onto dessa, Judging by her martial arts prowess and hearing, she was clearly no nidinary bodyguard
“But why would she willingly prefect me? Athena was utterly perplexed
Facing Athena’s questioning, Jessa let out a light, nonchalant chuckle. She said, “Viscountess, all you need to know is that I wore harm you. As for my origins—sorry, that’s classified.”
Jessa’s expression said it all the wasn’t going to talk. Seeing this, Athena let the matter drop
Trina came in from outside, light footed and beaming
“My Lady!” her cheerful voice rang out before she even entered, instantly dispelling the subtle tension in the room
Athena turned her gaze to Trina, whose lace was beaning with delight. “Great joy, great joy, My Lady!” Trina velaimed
“What’s the good news?” Athena asked.
“Envoys from the palace have arrived! Thanatus has brought so many imperial gifts that they’ve filled the courtyard. My Lady, you must come at once”
At these words, Athena’s heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly rose and made her way toward the front courtyard.
Just as she stepped out, Athena happened to run into Margaret, who was approaching with a flustered expression “Athena, what’s going on? Why ha palace envoys arrived?” she asked anxiously
Margaret lived in the West Wing, close to the entrance, so she was the first to hear the news.
“Grandma, it’s alright,” Athena said gently, stepping forward to support her. As they slowly walked out together, Athena briefly explained what had happened over the past few days.
After hearing it all, Margaret finally let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good,” she murmured.
wanted was for Athens to live a peaceful and stable life, free from any more mishaps.
The grandmother and granddaughter arrived together at the front courtyard, where Thanatus was already waiting with his attendants
Seeing Athena, Thanatus hurried forward, fawning, and declared, “Congratulations, Viscountess! Double congratulations! You have brought the epidemic under control, and His Majesty has rewarded you with a chest each of gold and silver, ten strings of garnet jewelry, two pairs of silver–inlaid hand mirrors, a measure of pearls, and two rolls each of royal brocade, tiger pelts, and fox furs.”
“Thank you, Eunuch Thanabus,” Athena said, giving Trina a meaningful glance,
Once Thanatus had departed, Margaret beamed with joy at Athena and said, “My dear Athena, your bitter days are finally over. Now that you have the Emperor’s favor, you have a bright future ahead, and I can finally rest easy.”
Margaret was smiling like a kid in a candy store, Gwen couldn’t help but say, “Madam, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you smile so happily.”
