章 246: Everything Is Fine

Seeing as the gala was in full swing, Laina wandered about. Although it was done in her honor, it was clear to see most of the nobles did not wish to speak to her. Perhaps after what had happened in the past, they were afraid. 

"Your Highness, how are you enjoying the gala?" Ethan asked from afar. 

He was surrounded by some noblemen and women, all of whom turned to see her when Ethan addressed her. 

"It has been lovely so far. Thank you for hosting, Lord Ethan," Laina replied cordially with a smile. 

A passing waiter, with wine glasses on their silver tray, came up to them. 

"Shall we make a toast, Your Highness?" Lord Rengal proposed as he raised his wine glass high. 

Everyone else agreed and did the same. 

"Sure," the crown princess replied with a smile. 

Laina was not holding one at the time, so she was offered one by the waiter. She picked it up and raised it.
