Chapter 804: Hi
Hi, Lily."
The quiet voice seemed to come out of nowhere, making Lily nearly jump. If it hadn’t been a woman’s voice, her hand would’ve already been on her pepper spray.
She turned quickly, her eyes widening as a figure stepped out of the shadows. It took a moment for her to recognize the woman, and when she did, she gulped. Instinctively, she curtsied. "Your Highness."
The princess raised an eyebrow. "I wasn’t aware you knew my identity."
"I didn’t. But the photos of your engagement with Prince Kael made headlines. I recognized you from those." She stopped herself from admitting she had spent far longer staring at the man beside Isidora in the picture. And not the one she was getting engaged to. The one in the background...
She couldn’t believe herself that she was still hung up on him. And yet, he had not even bothered to send a reply to her. Or question. She knew because she would habitually unblock his number and check. However, she could not blame him. Hadn’t she been the one to forcefully break off and tell him that their paths should not cross. Then why did she blame him?
She shook her head at the questions. Now was not the time for distractions. Why did Princess Isidora look for her? And she was sure that Her highness was here for her or else why would she be waiting in the dark?
Her first thought was that something had happened to Cai. But then, she shook her head. Why would she come to her f something happened ot him.
"I can see you have a lot of questions. And I will answer them... in time. But first, why don’t we talk over a cup of coffee?"

As Lily sat opposite Princess Isidora, the warm aroma of coffee filled the air, but it did little to settle her nerves. Her hands clutched the cup, seeking the comfort of its warmth. She wasn’t sure what to say—what could you say when you were sitting across from royalty in a quiet café, out of nowhere, and in the middle of the night?And for no reason apparently. She definitely did not have anything in common to discuss with her.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Princess Isidora broke the silence.
