Chapitre 201: A Night Out With You

Laina interlocked her hands together. She tucked a loose lock of her hair behind her ear as she looked up at the ticking clock in her room. She bit her lip. As she let out a breath of air, she got up from her seat and walked towards the door. 

Margaret had asked for permission to spend some time with Marius, which the Crown Princess happily obliged. She was happy to see Margaret's relationship with Marius blossoming. 

"Are you sure you're going to be alright?" her handmaid asked her nervously as she held onto her hands. 

"I'll be fine," Laina had reassured her, while her heart pounded in her chest, "What could possibly go wrong?"

The Crown Princess confidently left the room and headed towards the Royal Gardens. As per their agreement, they were going to rendezvous in the cover of darkness amongst the flowers. She felt as if she was an assassin, sneaking through the castle as she went.
