Leland's eyes were still focused on the tiny twinkling star in the sky while he remembered the figure of Nicholas Hanenbergh who met him at Princess Karenina's birthday party.
At the party, Leland could clearly see the king was interested in Sophie. Heck, even a blind man would be able to see it too. The way his eyes looked droopy and in awe at the sight of Leland's mate, and his overly-enthusiastic voice when he introduced himself to Sophie.. they said it all.
The king was obviously attracted to or even... in love with Sophie.
Thinking about it made Leland clench his fist in annoyance. Ugh... If Nicholas was nearby, Leland would have jumped down and attacked him again. How dare he...!
However... Leland then furrowed his brows, if King Nicholas Hannenbergh was really the same Nicholas that Sophie married six years ago, why was he acting like he didn't know her?
