Capítulo 39: In Four Years

"Even harder than the Second Prince?" Eloria asked without much thought, making her cousin chuckle.

"I grew up with Alanus and no matter what others think, I know him quite well," he explained. "That's why reading the Second Prince is not that hard for me. You are much harder."
