819 NEOMA NOONA

"YOU'RE not here to pick a fight with me, are you?" Neoma asked when she saw Phoebe Willows in her chambers after she stepped out of the bath. "I'm not in the mood to fight with you, child."

The security in her bedroom was lax, since she was hiding her presence.

Hence, not even Lewis realized that she was already back in the Imperial Palace.

[But the fact that Pheobe Willows is here only means Goddess Astrid brought her here.]

Gosh.

[I thought I should take a quick nap before I let my presence known, but there's a guest.]

"Why would I pick a fight with Your Imperial Highness when I'm in your territory?" Phoebe Willows said, frowning. "I'm only here to run an errand for Goddess Astrid."

Neoma looked at the box in Phoebe Willows' hands. "A Divine Item, isn't it?"

"Goddess Astrid said this is Your Imperial Highness' payment for listening to her request."

Wasn't it more appropriate to call it a 'bribe?'
