Leon was silent.
Ordinary people should not have known about this. But considering what Annelie just said before that, Leon could only sigh.
Even if he wanted to lie, he knew that he wouldn't be able to find any suitable reason to prevaricate this.
And should he lie?
Leon looked at Annelie and at her expression. Even if it was said that when they reached the high society, they have to learn to hide their real feelings and all, but Leon had the feelings that the current Annelie was still far from it.
The conflicts within Annelie's eyes were still visible.
"Yes," Leon replied. "Is it about Lady Aurora?"
Annelie smiled faintly.
She seemed to have guessed that for her mother to come to her and for Leon's father to come looking for him, the person who targeted Aurora should be someone higher than them.
And how many people were of higher status than them?
There were not that many.
