"Laura! You're finally home! Come and take a seat."
Count Harrison looked at Laura while pushing her to sit in front of Tine, who seemed to be happy. It was about time where Tine would make her move and it was time for Laura to fight back.
Laura took her seat and moved her hands as she ignored Tine and the prince talking and having fun. She regretted not looking at her surroundings carefully before she had walked down the carriage.
It is because she did not see any soldiers inside or outside the house, and that is why she had never thought that the prince would have come. She had one more year to stop their engagement and if not, she will be in so much trouble.
She continued eating in silence. Not until the prince had shifted his interest at Laura who had not spoken a word since she had taken her seat. Tine had seen the prince looking at Laura and immediately started a new conversation with him.
