Bab 66: Don't Mind Me

Adeline was surprised when she saw Easton. Jean and Jenny had just finished dressing her when there was a swift knock on the door. 

"Easton," she said in a curious voice.

"Princess," he warmly said with a large smile.

Adeline glanced at his expression. For once, she saw his true colors. It was a forced smile that strained his good-looking face. She hadn't realized it before, but the twins were quite handsome. He had hair the color of dark chocolate, but his eyes were a striking grey, like the roll of the skies before a storm cloud.

Maybe this was why so many women were staring at the twins. They were a pair that was difficult to look away from.

"His Majesty is preoccupied. You will be dining alone if that's alright with you?" Easton asked, but it came out like a definite command.

Adeline slowly nodded. That was fine with her. There would be fewer people watching her. 

"Lead the way then," she said without much enthusiasm in her voice.
