Mars and Ellena exchanged pleasantries before the king got to his table. Ellena tried to touch Harlow's head to ruffle her hair, but before she could touch the baby, Mars's hand blocked hers.
"Harlow is quite fussy lately," Mars said apologetically. "She doesn't like to be touched."
"Oh... is that so?" Ellena looked at Harlow with a disappointed expression. "I am sorry to hear that. Harlow is such a beautiful girl. Hello, Harlow sweetheart. How are you?"
Harlow looked away and yawned, showing clear disinterest in this lady in the blue dress. Ellena bit her lip, trying to suppress her anger. She faked a smile and turned to Mars. "What time does she usually sleep? Maybe it's past her bedtime?"
"It's okay. She can sleep anywhere," Mars replied. "She is not sleepy yet. I want to bring her here so I can introduce my daughter to the public."
I intentionally wrote this part to show the situation in the capital. What the public knows about Emmelyn and Mars' relationship and the queen's murder case.
Btw, I will publish more chapters today as bonus chapters. ^^
