Arren shut his eyes and lowered his gaze, not daring to look at her anymore. What was that? Her voice really resembled the one that suddenly overlapped in his ears.
He didn't know when that was or what its significance was for his fear of her. Arren also couldn't remember something like that happening before; it couldn't be a dream as he was certainly awake.
As Arren was immersed in his thoughts, he didn't answer Princess Noreen yet, which made the air around them somewhat awkward. The elderly yet still beautiful woman looked at a loss to Spade and Mother Empress Liviera. The latter also had no clue and could only look at his son.
Spade, who was staring at his aunt and observing her, blinked, and he politely yet casually spoke for Arren. "Arren wasn't feeling well,"
"Ah, I see." Princess Noreen nodded and looked at Arren for a moment before having a short talk with Spade.
