Cassandra swallowed, unsure what the Duke was saying.
"Explain?" Cassandra's eyes blinked in nervousness.
In Duke Salvador's gaze, the fifth Princess looked like a deer caught by the predator who was unsure where to run and hide.
"Why are you here?" Duke Salvador raised his eyebrows in question.
Cassandra was confused. She didn't know why the Duke was asking such questions. Her eyes flipped towards the table where the diary lay alongside a teacup.
'He should know why I am here.'
'He was the one who called me.'
'Did he forget?'
''No, it can't be.'
'But what if the Duke really forgot? Did I take so much pain for nothing?'
Cassandra looked at the Duke who was glaring at her. She could feel that the man's patience was on the brink of collapse. Cassandra swallowed hard as she shook her head.
'No, No. The Duke remembers. I am sure he remembers.'
'But then such a useless question.'
Cassandra's gaze stayed on the teacup for a few more seconds.
'Is he drunk?'
