Chapitre 178: Messenger (1)

When Marlena finally reached the large table where the royal guests were having their breakfast, she couldn't help noticing the strange stares directed at her. She couldn't blame them. She felt odd about speaking to a bird and asking it to deliver a message as well. She hadn't said the message out loud in fear that someone would hear her, instead whispering it to the little bird. 

Maybe the bird was as strange as she was, because it flew off as soon as she had told it to find Prince Destrian and ask him to meet her. Perhaps the bird really did understand her and was on its way to find the prince and deliver her message. 

Either way, she had a royal breakfast to endure. 

Cassius exchanged glances with his queen before glancing at the young woman as she took her seat next to the queen. "Did you have a good night, Marlena? It must have been very good if you couldn't find it in you to wake up in time for breakfast this morning."
