Chapter 284: Chapter 284 : Reverse psychology

As Eira walked down the hall to the library, she saw her cousin Zhelimir standing outside waiting for her. He didn't look like he was in high spirits, in fact he looked a little troubled by something.

"Are the men awaiting me inside that repulsive?" Eira teased.

Zhelimir smiled slightly before bowing to the princess. "I sure hope not, this is the second last batch of suitors. If you don't like any of these we may have a problem."

"Why so downcast Zhel? Has Janis gone out on another romantic get away with some random lord?"

Zhelimir shook his head, "are you trying to drive me to murder dear cousin?"

Eira smiled slightly. "Alright, if that's not the case then what's the matter?"

"It's Jacob," Zhelimir admitted, "he is being a spiteful prick. He says because he cannot see you, I too cannot see his sister. He is a massive cockblocker."
