We didn't waste any time as we just blazed right through the doors to the castle, opening them as wide as we could and causing a slight glacial breeze to move inside the castle. Right as we entered, there were already nobles arguing with each other about various things. However, their conversation died down as they all looked toward the entrance of the Ice Castle, probably expecting the royal adviser to come back.
But, to their surprise, it wasn't only the royal adviser who came through those doors as both myself and I walked beside him, still holding onto him, making sure that he wouldn't try anything funny.
There were a few nobles currently tied down in the middle of the throne room, and Amelia quickly understood that those were the nobles who hadn't betrayed her. However, there were so few of them that she could only wince. She wasn't graceful for their loyalty… she was simply disgusted at those who betrayed her for all these years, acting like they were on her side.
