Chapter 308.1
“You know, this is not the best time for him to come to us,” Kasser said, staring at Enoch. They might have been brothers-in-law, but he was still a king. “It’s late.”
It was usually considered rude to intrude before mealtime, but there were a few instances where exceptions had to be allowed.
As a knight summoning an Anika at the behest of Sang-je, Pides did not have to abide by the rules of polite society. Although he didn’t come often, he could come and go as early in the morning or as late in the night as he wished.
“How urgent is this matter?” Kasser pressed.
Enoch grew flustered. He hadn’t thought to ask the knight that question. He had simply accepted that Pides was working under Sang-je’s command and there was nothing he could do about it. It wasn’t that he was uninterested in his sister’s affairs, he just believed it would become a problem if he tried to pry into a matter between Sang-je and an Anika.
He glanced at Eugene, wondering if she knew what to do.
Thankfully, she got the hint and piped in, “It probably isn’t a long message. I’ll go and meet him.” She turned to her brother. “Is he in the first-floor drawing room?”
“Yes.” Enoch nodded.
Before Kasser could say another word, Eugene grabbed his arm. “Sir Pides is just a delivery man,” she reminded him. “There’s no harm in seeing what he has to say.”
