Capítulo 104: Palace friend

Paulina was a bit distracted as she kept wondering what was wrong with Williams. It was obvious he wasn't his usual self since usually, he would chat with her as she drew him or ask her questions, but he seemed a bit distant. He had only greeted her when they met and sat down, leaving her to do whatever she pleased.

Did she perhaps do something to upset him? Was it something she said? But they had been cool the previous day before she left. Or was he upset because she had left with Alvin abruptly when Prince Harold sent for her?

She wanted to ask him what was wrong with him, but at the same time, she didn't know how to do so. The last thing she wanted was for him to get upset by the question. So instead, she tried to focus on what she was doing.

After trying unsuccessfully for some time to focus on the painting, she put down her painting brush nervously and rubbed her hands together, thinking of the best way to break the silence.
