Chapter 124: How Secretive

Suddenly, Cian felt this strange sensation, like someone was calling out for his help. He looked around, but there was no one there, just an empty hallway. The only person nearby was Freya, still looking down.

"Must be my imagination," he thought, shaking off the feeling as he turned to continue on his way. But then, to his surprise, he ran into someone unexpected.

"Alice? What are you doing here?" Cian asked, a bit puzzled.

With a mischievous smile on her face, Alice teased, "I couldn't resist wondering why you're here with the princess. Are you two having a secret tryst, hmm? Oh my, never thought you were the pious type, but laying your hand on the princess? Quite scandalous!"

Cian raised an eyebrow and retorted, "You seem to have a strange hobby of observing people. Don't you have anything better to do?"

"Fufu... But there's nothing more entertaining than watching you, you know," Alice replied with a playful tone, enjoying her little game of teasing.
