The suffocating meeting finally ended sooner than expected.
Not only did Edmund have a lot of work to catch up on after being away from the palace for a whole week, but Primrose also didn't want things to turn violent if Salem kept talking too much around him.
"I'll take my leave, Your Majesty," Salem said with a polite bow before walking out of the receiving room.
Edmund stood up from the couch as well, looking a little unsure about leaving his wife alone after being gone for so long.
[What if my wife still misses me?]
Your Majesty, you're being a little too confident now!
Primrose, honestly, didn't mind at all if Edmund left her. After all, it wasn't like they had spent much time alone together anyway.
"I have to go now," Edmund said. "I hope you don't bother me."
Primrose tilted her head, waiting for the mental scream that would definitely come after he realized how weird that sounded.
[Wait, no! If I say it like that, she'll think I hate being around her!]
