Chapter 120: Insufferable Prince
Two days flew by faster than Soleia would’ve liked. In those two days, more and more guests had arrived earlier than scheduled.
Most of these two days had been spent cooped up in her room if not hosting, tirelessly researching the source of her magic. However, she had yet to make further developments, and with Orion breathing down her neck, there was only so much she could do before he started to suspect what was going on.
Soleia had considered seeking Sir Ralph’s help again, but whenever she brought up Ralph’s name, Orion turned oddly protective. He didn’t stop her from seeing his best friend, but rather, the downcast expression Orion wore quickly dissuaded Soleia from pressing the topic any further.
Her sister’s words quickly chimed in her mind every time Orion Elsher looked disappointedly out the windows.
Tongues will wag.
With the two Raxuvian princes staying in Vramid’s royal palace, Soleia ought to watch herself even more so than before.
There came a knock on the door, and Soleia straightened. She peered curiously; Orion had declared that he would leave early so as to prepare.
He, as the star of the show, was an important contestant in the hunting event and had to reach the hunting grounds ahead of time. On the other hand, Soleia and the other ladies could arrive an hour later, and most spent the hour preparing themselves in fur and jewels.
"Who is it?" Soleia called out when no one announced themselves, raising an eyebrow in wariness.
