Dionne stood from her seat as soon as the second prince appeared by the furnace. She shouted with anger, "Your Highness!"
Azer's body stiffened. His head spun towards the mage. He gruffly voiced out with a stern frown, "What is she doing here?!"
The mage, who was sitting by the windowsill holding an open book, answered wryly, "Something went wrong with the spell I cast, Your Highness."
Azer flinched again. He avoided looking down at Amara, so he let her go and faced the mage. But before he could ask him to send back Dionne to the palace, the mage walked past him and stopped in front of Amara.
However, the mage's eyes weren't directed at her, but at the person standing behind Amara.
Amara blinked. She was in a daze after hearing that woman addressed Azer like he was part of royalty. Her eyes searched him, but another man came to her sight.
