When Olivia glanced over with a smile, the air seemed to momentarily stand still.
Isabella, who had just been cheered up by Elias, felt her good mood dip again.
Just a quick chat with Elias... and here he comes, hurrying to stake his claim...
She's a princess, for crying out loud, and yet so visibly jealous!
Not exactly the picture of restraint!
Arms crossed, Isabella spoke with a hint of irritation, "I'm in the middle of discussing something with my student. What's up? Need something?"
Olivia flashed a puzzled look and slightly furrowed her brow, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"
"Huh?"
Olivia didn't bother with a response and turned her gaze directly to Elias.
"Did you forget why we're here?"
Elias gave a nervous chuckle and nodded, "Right, I remember..."
They had come to this banquet for a special reason – a summons from the old emperor.
