บท 263: A Private Banquet

When they reached their accommodation in the royal palace, Neil and the other servants were waiting for them by the entrance.

"Welcome back, Your Highness."

Arlan slightly loosened his collar as he continued to walk inside the mansion. "Anything happened while I was gone?"

The young man followed behind him while reporting, "indeed. We have received an invitation from the Megarisian delegation."

"About?"

"Your Highness is invited to attend a banquet arranged by the Queen of Megaris," he replied and explained the details. 

Arlan glanced at Oriana who was also trailing behind him. "No need to follow me. Rest up and then accompany us to the banquet."

Oriana nodded. It was a relief she get to rest. She was somewhat tired, although she did not do much for the past few hours. It was mostly the mental strain of how she was interrupted again and again every time she was about to confess to Arlan about her gender.
