"So, with all that being said, I'd like to ask again… What are you up to Caroline Roseblade?"
Caroline just stared at Aiden while smiling at him in response to his question, her scarlet red eyes holding the composed gaze of his emerald-green eyes.
After about a minute, Caroline finally spoke up.
"Well, I guess I do have a reason for coming here..." she began while taking a sip out of her tea which was now almost completely cold.
"But it's not nearly anything as crafty as you'd expect…" she added while returning the tea cup back to its saucer.
"In fact, it's so simple you might regard it unbelievable…" she continued, her palms now elegantly resting on her laps.
"Shoot Miss. Roseblade. I'm all ears" Aiden responded calmly, despite his increasing interest in why this young lady had approached him since the day of the royal banquet.
