Chapter 211: Siblings

"Didn't sound that excited earlier…" Adia teased, her hand raising to Boris' head. Almost like she was going to strangle him. About a few inches before reaching his neck, her eyes looked to the person beside her, finally acknowledging his presence. She turned back to Boris, "and who is this, your highness?"

Falls flinched, immediately nodding his head in Adia's direction. "I am Marquess Falls Hane, the war advisor in the council."

Adis cocked her head to the side before nodding and bowing before him. "So sorry for my rude behavior, your grace. I apologize for not recognizing you sooner." She stood back up and locked eyes with him. 

Falls flinched. Her eyes were intense, piercing into his like lasers but they had this tone of… innocence that he couldn't understand. Right when he was just about getting slightly used to the intensity in her eyes, her gaze intensified sending shivers down his spine. 

Animosity. That was the look in her eyes.
