"A-Are you sure no one will find us?" Aster asked, her voice shaking.
Primrose turned to Edmund. "What do you think, husband?"
Edmund didn't hesitate when he said, "I won't let that happen."
Primrose smiled and then spoke to Aster. "Did you hear that? If my husband says so, then there's nothing you need to worry about."
[Nothing to worry about? How can I not worry?!] Aster screamed in her mind. She was already close to losing it.
[We're trying to sneak into the palace—no, wait, we're already inside! But we haven't even reached the west wing yet!]
[Aaa! I'm so scared right now! What if we get caught and the King fires my father?]
Honestly, getting fired wasn't even the worst outcome. If they were discovered, Lord Keirwyn might even be punished for failing to educate his daughter.
But Primrose kept that to herself because saying it out loud would only make Aster panic more.
