Chapter 118: Chapter 118

"How many festivals have you attended, Alex? I can count how many I have attended on one hand. My father only likes to send me out when there are men he wants me to use my charm to bring to his side. Still, coming outside the palace with you is lovely. I wish you would smile," Kiara requested once more. 

Alexander remained focused, looking around for any danger lurking. As soon as she found the general, she could leave his side and be protected by the man he wanted her to marry. 

Kiara sighed, bored of the festival already. What fun was any of this when Alexander did not want to speak or at least pretend to look happy? She was better off talking to the maid who walked behind them.
