Lucien spoke no words in return but silently sips her tea before it gets cold.
Cresella neither did expect a confession in return and so she continues, "not everyone here like lady Renee. Some have made a circle on their own to work on their means to gain the emperor's attention."
'Ah, It seems they are creating allies now.'
"I would love to make a proposition, Lady Lucien," Cresella directed towards Lucien with a sharp stare. "I may not offer a promising proposal, however, I can assure you that no harm would come to you."
'Is this a threat? And from who? You or the other?'
Lucien's mind echoed. She wonders if something like this had ever happened in the novel, this was never mentioned.
