"Huh?" Apollo scoffed, but Ezekiel and Atlas both removed their hoodies.
"You!" Ezekiel grunted at Apollo. "Who gave you permission to take her outside?!"
Tarah turned to Apollo and Cora. "Duke Apollo said he already spoke to you about it, so I assumed Lady Tarah could go out," Cora explained, but seeing the prince's grim expression made her turn to Apollo. "You lied?!" Cora exclaimed.
Apollo scratched his head and snorted, "Well, these two men were supposed to be very busy today. Knowing Ezekiel, he would simply lock Tarah inside the estate walls, and there's no fun in that."
Ezme rolled her eyes and sighed, "Oh, please, let's just have lunch first, shall we? Even if
Apollo lied, there's nothing we can do since we're already outside. Besides, what harm will befall Tarah when I'm practically here?"
