Since he felt that there was nothing more to say, Priest Elis was allowed to resign with William, which left Lucas waiting for the king to finish his breakfast. After the others were gone, Ronan inquired about another matter.
"What about Arielle's two siblings? They're going home this afternoon, aren't they?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. There's nothing suspicious about the two of them. It's just that… yesterday I was a little careless that Princess Andrea ended up meeting with Princess Arielle."
Ronan stopped using his cutlery and glared at Lucas. The man was not wearing his mask, so Lucas could immediately see the unfriendly expression of the king. Lucas pulled the collar off his neck, which suddenly felt tight.
"And something happened?" Ronan raised an eyebrow, looking displeased.
"I-I don't know for sure, but… Princess Arielle looked uncomfortable."
SLAM!
