Bab 272: Is she cupid?

Aries's lips were stretched from ear to ear as she approached Joaquin's vantage point. When she left her tent minutes ago and parted with Inez, Aries was stopped by a noble lady to give her a trinket and wish her good luck. It surprised her at first, as the maiden looked at her with great admiration. 

She wouldn't think much about it, but more ladies mustered their courage after that first noble lady's action. So now, Aries collected quite a few trinkets before she stood in front of Joaquin and the few people with him. 

"Greetings, Your Royal Highness," she greeted with a slight neck bow, smiling at Abel, "Baron Albe," and then at Ismael, who was surely here to press the crown prince's nerves. "Third prince. I'm very glad to have you in here."
