Chapter 279: We need to talk

"Greetings, Anya"

In a tranquil tone, the young woman voiced. Capturing everyone's attention who were back facing her. Her words stunned Anya wholly so that she turned around in speed. Did she just mishear the Fifth Princess? Or did that young woman call her by name gently? Surprise displayed on the Princess's face.

The reaction from the girl amused Asteria. She purposely called this girl by name. So she could get into the heart of this girl slowly. Yep, the young woman's scheme was to hide in the heart of Princess Anya as an important person. "Oh sister!" Consciousness brought the girl back to reality from thoughts. 

She promptly stood up. Bowing at the Fifth Princess as Ria returned a slight curtsy with a tiny beam tugged at her lips. "I apologize for my delay. I happened to get up later than usual because of some issues" Asteria explained and settled down at the table. "It is fine, sister. I don't even mind about it" Anya smiled.
