Chương 326: A second chance

I had way too many worries but I had no answers. 

Walking around, looking gloomy was only making the people around me worry too. 

So, I put on a face and went around the palace, looking around: I tried my best to look normal and pretend like I was just doing a routine check on my kingdom. It was a lot livelier than last night and people just kept pouring and pouring. 

The nobles in particular were kind of surrounding me every now and then. And out of nowhere the count showed up and managed everything, every single freaking time. The guy had greeted me and I'd greeted him but that was all. 

It was almost like we had an understanding between us or something. The last time I'd behaved really rudely to him but I guess the apology really had worked. He didn't seem to harbor any ill feelings towards me. He didn't quite like Bryce though.

But I was glad nothing bad happened between the two.
