Chapter 86: The Crown Princess And Her Bodyguard

Margaret could see the excitement fading quickly from Laina's face. Soon it turned into anxiety, as Laina tried again. But there was no response. Seeing Laina look so disheartened broke Margaret's heart. 

-Dante! You're going to get it from me if you ever dare to show your face around here again!- Margaret said to herself. 

The handmaid reached out her hand and placed it on Laina's, catching the Crown Princess's attention. 

"Maybe he's just busy at the moment, try again later," Margaret reassured her. 

Laina let out a breath of air, "You're right. I'll just try again later."

Though she could not help but let her mind wonder about what might have happened, Laina refocused her mind on the task at hand. The lack of sleep and weakening effects of coffee was getting to her.
