"Father, allow me to excuse myself."

"Your majesty, allow us to excuse ourselves."

"Your majesty…for the past week, her grace has been acting in suspicious manners. From morning to evening, she wards her entire courtyard through Semi-Holy Force, preventing anyone from peeping while at night, she does the same to her chambers…"

"Any variables potentially leading to this?"

As he proceeded onto the next part, the eunuch's entire body trembled.
