After the Crown Prince of Griven and his attendant left the drawing room, Rosetta moved to sit on the couch opposite to where Samer was sitting. A servant wordlessly came in and brought another wine glass for the lady, before uncorking a new bottle of vintage wine for her and the King to share.
As they enjoyed the wine, Samer asked, "As you expected, it was a ruse."
"It is not surprising. That prince did not even do a courtesy call on any of the other kingdoms, only ours. They are so obvious, even a child can tell, but then they didn't care at all as they needed to take this chance at all costs," she mused as she licked the wine off her lips. "But to think he managed to get a prince to personally accompany a servant, Drayce Ivanov sure knows how to use his resources well."
"What do you think will happen now?"
"Nothing much. At most, this human prince can only tell him how I look. That king has no resources to confirm who I am."
