Captured into the Bedroom of the Enemy Emperor (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 117

“Your Highness Isabella….”

“No, it’s Alessia. Isabella returned to the Kingdom of Rubelin. She had made dinner plans with Her Majesty the Empress before leaving, but something came up.”

Patricia recalled what Anna had told her that morning as she was on her way to meet Julia. Also, when she returned from the Hoon tribe hunters’ village, she found a letter from Isabella on her desk in the study.
