Chapitre 38: 38. Peek into the Secrets

"Ariana, are you alright?" There was an urgency and panic in Xavier's voice. The information that she wasn't feeling well hadn't been forgotten and was in the back of his mind through out the day, which resurfaced on seeing her color-drained face.

Hearing that, everybody's attention diverted from Nate. But before their judgmental gaze could land on her, courtesy of a certain pretender, Ariana quickly retreated to her stoic face. "How dare he address me in such an informal manner in front of all as if we were close?" She complained to Saoirse.

"She is not. Just some hours ago, she fainted after climbing the stairs." Luna Barbara whined.

Xavier jumped up from his seat with wide eyes, starling everyone. "Let a healer be fetched this instant!" He ordered. Guards standing at the door rushed outwards immediately on the command of their King.

"There's no need to bother anyone. I'm perfectly fine now." Ariana tried explaining as she stood up from her seat anxiously.
