"You are the Queen now. You should draw clear boundaries between you and your servants. It is necessary to avoid misunderstanding," said Alec before walking out of the room with Matthias on his tail.
Lauren huffed out a breath. She shook her head with her lips half-open. Necessary to avoid misunderstanding? But he was the only one who misunderstood it!
She never acted inappropriately around Julian or any of her people. Julian may be playful but he always respected the boundaries between them. After all, she was still a royal and his master. Alec only heard Julian chuckle. She couldn't believe he was making a fuss just because of a trivial matter.
Inside the carriage, Lauren sat across from Alec. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at his frowning face.
"Did the ministers annoy you that's why you are so grumpy?" She sighed and crossed her arms. "I appreciate your concern but I know my people the best so you don't have to worry about it."
