Lucien wasn't planning on having a meal at the hall but after knowing that Efthalia wouldn't be present, she made her way as the last person to arrive.
Her gaze roamed to those ladies who nearly abducted her. Now that she thought about it, on that very day, even that knight wasn't present as well. He was with her until he received a call that he was needed immediately. She didn't think of anything until now, it started to make sense. They wanted her to be alone in any way and it became possible for them.
Soon enough, she meets their gaze, but they quickly look away. 'I wonder what the third prince did? They are present here. I was expecting one of them to be removed.'
She joins the table and silently began to have her food as one after the other began to serve. The hall was silent but not for long, one or the other began to chatter and gossip.
