Arielle walked slowly towards Alexis, who was waiting for her.
"Sorry, Duke Pellington, to interrupt your time. There's something I need to talk to my sister about," Alexis spoke politely, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice.
"It's okay, Your Highness. Then I'll excuse myself."
Alexis walked to a garden bench and sat there. Arielle was still standing waiting for her brother to immediately speak. The dress she was wearing was getting tighter, and Arielle couldn't last much longer.
Arielle thought that there was nothing more to discuss with Alexis. Their conversation this afternoon still made Arielle feel sad because her greedy brother said that this was all to protect her. If they really protected her, then there was no way they would accept the proposal of someone like Duke Pellington.
"What did you talk to Duke Pellington about?" asked Alexis.
