Chapter 204: The Knightess’ True Identity
The atmosphere in the grand hall was heavy with silence as they gathered. Kiev observed Anna and Kyren, their hands intertwined since they entered the hall. The display of affection piqued his curiosity.
If the grand duke indeed had such strong feelings for her, why did he settle for making her his concubine instead of marrying her legally?
The question lingered in Kiev’s mind, but he hesitated to confront him, as it might spark another argument. For now, he intended to be patient and wait for the matter to be adequately resolved.
Soon after, Anryr arrived, having completed the necessary arrangements. The knight had placed Clara in the guestroom provided by the steward, and Elis had assisted in positioning the knightess comfortably on the bed, taking into account her condition.
Thanks to the knowledge that the maid had acquired from Rafe and Ayden, she was well-prepared to care for Clara during her recovery.
The grand duke and his wife, accompanied by their ’guests,’ were led to the guestroom on the first floor. Outside the room, Elis and Noah stood, ready to receive their following instructions.
Anryr pushed open the door, and Clara turned to gaze at the newcomers from her bed. Kyren and Anna entered first, followed by Kiev and Callis. The steward closed the door promptly, understanding that this was a private moment for them.
"Your Highness! What is all this about?" Clara asked Anna, her curiosity piqued.
The princess held the hand of a towering, muscular man with jet-black hair and captivating blue eyes. Another couple accompanied them, standing alongside the couple.
Observing the man holding Anna’s hand, Clara deduced that he must be the grand duke. He was undeniably breathtaking and had an irresistible allure.
However, the grand duke was not the sole captivating figure in the room. The man beside him also radiated an enchanting charm. His long, silky white hair cascaded down his shoulders, and his eyes gleamed like rubies. The woman accompanying him shares the same striking appearance, and their faces bear a remarkable resemblance.
