Lena watched as the maternal grandfather of Crown Prince Tristan made his way to her and in no time, Archduke Fares was standing before her. A step behind the Archduke was the guard whose face Lena was familiar with.
"Your Highness." Archduke Fares greeted her and slightly bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you again."
Lena Castelof briefly glanced in the direction where the Archduke was coming from and asked, "Did you meet Her Majesty?"
"Yes. Her Majesty summons me and I came to meet her. I'm on my way back now," Archduke Fares replied, maintaining a formal tone. "It seems like you're here for some fresh air, Your Highness. Do I disturb you?"
"Not at all, Archduke Fares," Lena replied with a smile. "I was simply enjoying the little free time that I have."
