Chapitre 35: The Duke is Here [1]

As the Princess reaches the grand hall, she is greeted by the sound of raised voices and a small crowd gathered near the entrance.

Curiosity piqued, she pushes her way through the throng, her presence immediately quieting the commotion.

"What is all the commotion?" she asks, her voice cutting through the silence as she spots her ladies-in-waiting, Analisa and Eunice, bickering heatedly.

Upon seeing the princess, both women abruptly stop and bow deeply, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

"Your Highness," they greet in unison, their previous hostility momentarily forgotten.

Lexzandra glances between the two, puzzled. "What is going on here?"

Analisa and Eunice exchange glares but remain silent, neither willing to explain. Lexzandra's eyes narrow in frustration, and she turns to Ruth, who is standing quietly nearby.

"Ruth, what happened here?" Lexzandra asks.
