Kapitel 313: Chapter 313: The Protagonist.

"Lady Melissa, would you like to join me?" Elestria asked after she comforted Melissa about her father's death. "I believe my adviser and your bodyguard have an interest in each other, so shall we go somewhere else private so we can have a comfortable conversation?" she added as she wiped the tears from Melissa's cheeks.

"I would love to, but we are here for the ceremony, Your Majesty. I'm afraid it would be disrespectful if we left on an important day," Melissa answered and noticed the gazes that had been pointed at her.

"Honestly, I don't really care. Your late father is a close friend of mine, and my only reason for coming here is to meet you," Elestria responded and showed everyone that she was above them.

Melissa hesitated, but since Elestria forced her to leave the hall, she couldn't do anything but follow Elestria. Mykel and the man were following right behind them, making sure nobody dared to show their ill gazes toward those two.
