The next day, Ariana went back to the palace with her horse carriage. However, unlike yesterday when she went with James, this time Ariana only brought Valencia to accompany her to Prince Raoul's castle.
This time, Valencia had to return to her maid outfit because the fact that Valencia was secretly trained as a knight was still a secret of the Alison family. The girl followed Ariana obediently behind her. The two didn't say much until Ariana suddenly stopped before they reached the forest surrounding the palace.
"Ariana greets His Highness the Crown Prince."
When Valencia heard Ariana's voice, the girl knew the crown prince was walking towards them. Valencia immediately bowed politely before taking three steps back, according to the rules regarding the manners of a servant.
However, Emilio wasn't concerned with Valencia's actions, as his eyes only focused on Ariana. His eyes looked sadly at Ariana as Emilio reached out to touch her hand.
