Chapter 49: Male Leads Meet
Adeline’s heart started beating fast, she didn’t expect for the main characters to meet this early but it happened. Watching it unfold in front of her was not thrilling, it was downright horrifying...
"You- stay away from Linny." Dimitri stepped forward thinking he was protecting her.
"Hah, who do you think you are to order me, the Crown Prince?" First Benedict and now another? Cassian couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, it was hard for him to control his powers. There was a chill in the air that made everyone shiver. Only he knew that he was the reason for this change in the environment. More and more flies started to buzz around her, it was annoying.
"You should let her decide what she wants." Benedict came to her defence and took her hand which made Dimitri and Cassian grit their teeth, both were unwilling to back down.
In the corner of her eye, she could see Edward and Annora. Instead of focusing on the female lead, he stared right at her. His eyes never left her since she entered the banquet hall.
How did it get to this point? Adeline sighed.

"Linny, Aaron, Dimitri, I am giving you five minutes or else you will have to walk all the way to the palace!"
"Coming!"
Adeline shouted. Alaric was a stickler for rules, he had to be early to show respect to the hosts, especially since they were the royal family. He reminded them numerous times earlier but they were still a bit behind schedule, they were kids after all.
