Darryl rubbed his eyes and felt dispirited. Why would the Queen request for his presence that early in the morning? He quickly washed up and rushed to the main hall.
Once there, he was stunned. The Queen was sitting on the throne, and below her stood the mayors of their respective cities. Not only that, Dennis and Angeline were there too. Standing in front of Dennis was a kind-looking middle-aged man who happened to be Dennis' father, Marshall Reeves, the garrison's commander-in-chief.
However, the person that captured Darryl's attention was a woman standing opposite Marshall. She dressed her graceful body in a fuschia long gown, and any man would swoon when they saw her seductive face, which was what had happened to Darryl. He was almost mad for her, and he was even drooling.
'Who is she? Her body and face are comparable to the Queen! Her seductive aura is out of this world. She will definitely become famous if she works in the Nine Mainland's entertainment industry,' Darryl thought. Then he noticed Angeline blinking at him, and he instantly got the message, so he quickly went and stood beside her.
"Is this your first time here?" Angeline asked in a whisper. "You seemed speechless."
"I started to panic when the Queen summoned me here," Darryl replied in a whisper as well. Then he snuck another glance at the seductive woman.
"Hey!" Angeline said unhappily when she realized who Darryl was looking at. "Are you even listening to me? Why do you keep staring at that old seductress?" Her face was filled with disdain.
'Seductress?' Darryl thought with shock.
Darryl found it both frustrating and humorous at the same time. Only Angeline would have the guts to use the Queen's name to summon someone to the main hall.
"The Queen is going to punish Dennis in front of everybody, so I've asked you to join in the fun," Angeline said.
Darryl simply nodded at her words. He also thought that Dennis' behavior the previous day was shameless.
