"Grand Duke! Did you need anything from Xyriel?" Princess Zinnia asked with a bright smile.
"Grand Duke Xyriel dropped this, so I stepped out to give it to him. But I think I stumbled upon a surprising scene," I replied, still bewildered by their earlier interactions.
Her eyes widened, "Oh, did you see me and him, um, doing something?" She asked as she touched her cheeks, attempting to hide her blushing face. "I'll take that earring for now and give it to Xyriel personally when we meet again," she added.
I handed her the earring and answered, "I saw both of you getting intimate."
"I don't want to invade your privacy, but may I ask, are you both in a secret relationship?" I questioned, curious about her response.
Clearly, if they were just friends, they wouldn't engage in kissing or such intimate behavior.
