WHEN they were nearing the Grimaldi mansion, Ellis finally couldn't help but voice out her worries.
"Astrid, do you really think it's wise to be close to the Grimaldis? I understand that young master Grimaldi feels a special attachment to you because you and Reas saved him. That might even be a major reason why EMMA chose you as their ambassador. While it has certainly boosted your career, getting too close to such a prominent noble family could also backfire."
Astrid turned to Ellis. He understood her concern, but it wasn't as if he could simply cut ties with the Grimaldis, especially now that they knew who he and Reas were. The real issue was that he couldn't explain this to Ellis—at least, not right now.
He planned to first tell the Grimaldis about Wulfric, and then followed by his parents. After that was done, then he would tell Ellis about his connection with the Grimaldis.
