บท 183: Curious Little Girl

While Seren was immersed in her own shocking thoughts, the aide of the King of Griven approached his king to inform him that the morning assembly would be starting soon, and as such, they needed to leave.

"Alas, time flies when you are enjoying!" King Ailwin could not help but complain. His queen merely laughed as the two of them stood up to leave.

Everyone else stood up as well to see them off, pulling Seren back to the present. She hurried to follow the others in bowing slightly to the king and the queen as they left. 

"Finally, we can abandon all the formalities!" Arlan gave a sigh of relief just as his parents, the King and Queen of Griven, left the drawing-room. 

With a gleeful chuckle,  the little girl who was quietly sitting on her chair immediately ran towards Drayce. "Dray, will you take me out like last time?"

"Rayjin..." her mother warned. 

Drayce looked at Alvera. "It's fine, Sister Alvera."
