章節 247: Truths And Lies

The rest of the gala went smoothly, everyone had a good time. Laina played it off as if nothing had happened to begin with. Though Lord Ethan was curious as to why Laina's bodyguards had asked to speak to her in private, he did not question further. 

However, he did notice something strange about Lord Rengal's behavior. After Laina excused herself and returned shortly after, he had a strange look on his face. 

When the night came to an end, Laina asked to speak with Ethan in private. Though it caught him off guard, he obliged. They moved to Ethan's office to have their conversation over some wine. 

Laina took a seat on the sofa opposite Ethan, while Florin and Kol stood by her side. 

"How may I be of assistance, Crown Princess Laina? Were you not satisfied with the gala?"

Laina shook her head, "I am not here to speak about that, Lord Ethan. You've done well with the planning of the gala."
