Chương 148: Meeting again

Atlas stared at them. Meredith didn't know how long he had been here, or what he had witnessed, but the look in his eyes was the most painful thing she had ever seen.

She was sure her heart dropped somewhere

near her ankle as she looked back at him.

"Princess, Prince Marcus, how do I owe the honor of you visiting me in my humble abode?" Elvin said as he stood up to greet Meredith and Marcus. He bowed slightly at them while he waited for their response.

"We will be leaving for the General meeting and the princess wanted to meet you first before our departure tomorrow."

Atlas's eyes slid to Meredith's and she felt her throat bob.

"Oh sorry princess I have been busy since we came back and I haven't had the time for us to chat. How is the City treating you? Do you like it?"

Meredith swallowed and nodded. The lump in her throat made it difficult for her to talk. That was the effect Atlas had on her.
