While Silja and Donovan were having their own time somewhere else Kruel had his eyes glued on a particular figure.
Genie was sitting with her maids at a quieter place. Few soldiers were standing around her making protective circles. She was the youngest and wasn't of the age of drinking so all she could do was to watch everyone like every year she did. Abrielle was busy meeting people and fulfilling her duty as queen otherwise she would have never left Genie alon out there between so many people.
The guards guarding the little princess were personal guards of Genie who mostly followed her whenever she made appearances in such public settings. Their work was to safeguard her and keep everyone away from meeting her.
Even though Genie didn't like staying in such a protected environment where other people are actually roaming freely. But what other choices did she have?
It was better to be here with her guards and maids instead of staying in the castle alone.
