The first one to arrive on the scene was Adam; he fixed Luciana with a condescending gaze, his displeasure evident. His gaze was filled with disdain, disgust, and suspicion as he stared at the visibly frightened Luciana.
He didn't know why the prince was hellbent on keeping this suspicious princess close to him. After what happened in the empress' courtyard today, he wished the prince would just keep this woman at arm's length. Look at her; instead of staying put and not causing more trouble, here she was, messing around with Tiger.
Figures, since she was so stupid that her ploy to harm the empress' was uncovered within a short time, why won't she ignorantly go around and play with the beast? She was the true definition of ignorance is bliss; certain courage does come with ignorance.
Luciana felt like throwing up after seeing the mangled human-like meat in front of her and the bloody mouth and whiskers of the big cat as it bared its teeth at her.
