Eleanor quickly glanced at Isabel and then at Eva. Isabel just shrugged, trying to play it cool, though Julian could see the faintest blush on her cheeks.
Eva on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, you know how it is, brother," she said. "Just some girl talk. Nothing for you to worry about."
Julian chuckled, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in their reactions. "Seems like you're all hiding something from me," he said, "I wonder what it is."
He took a step close as his gaze flicked from one woman to the next, sensing that there was something more to their conversation than they were letting on.
Eva's laughter echoed lightly in the room, and she gave Julian a teasing look. "Nothing much," she said. "We were just talking about your recent activities."
Julian raised an eyebrow with a mischievous grin spreading on his face. "Ah, I see," he replied. "Seems like the maidens are talking about the charm of a prince, huh?"
