Bab 195: Princess (2)

In the crowd, Jade sat with some of her family, giggling at Dyon's antics. It was clear he was testing the character of the princess… but at the same time, she had a feeling that even if Dyon knew who the princess was intimately, and was aware that she was a good person, he would do things this way anyway.

A light smile played the soft lips of the princess, but the answer didn't come from her.

Instead, the black-haired and blue eyes Aeson Acacia spoke from the stands.

"Where is Ri?" he said faintly.

His words didn't seem like they were meant to be powerful… but, Dyon felt his array nearly shatter.

To make a peak practitioner defensive array almost collapse with just words… this Aeson wasn't simple.

Dyon didn't seem too bothered by this question, instead focusing on the princess more intently, "so all this time your cousin had been disappearing, I presume she was dealing with the tasks you asked of her, hm?"
