Chapter 208: Violet

An hour and a half before the present time…

"Leave." Aries looked at the woman, who was holding a shawl around her, looking back at her with dilated eyes.

Just now, she intruded into the eighth prince's quarters where his first wife lived. How she got in was easy since Aries had been observing every place and knew the routes that were the least people use. 

As soon as she snuck into the very chamber they were standing in, she found the princess still awake and was reading a book on the desk. The princess, with a natural beauty that made everything — her nightdress or an elegant dress — pale in comparison, looked at the intruder vigilantly. 

Due to the lack of light in the chambers, the princess was scared out of her wits at the presence of the intruder. She wanted to scream, but for reasons she couldn't explain, her voice wouldn't come out. Only when Aries spoke did her eyes truly dilate as she recognized that voice.
