Chapter 288: Lantern festival
"I understand, the princess won’t escape my sight." Elias accepted the task. Cedric’s head was racing with thoughts.
A lot was going on and he was distracted. The reason he was going to the festival with Callista was because of a hint they had. This has been the plan for a long time. That aside there was also the issue with Eleanor.
He has been trying to stop the summon since he found out today but Kaiden was too occupied to spare him an audience. That was the excuse the king used for avoiding to see him
He was sure Eleanor was behind that and then there was Abrielle that was hiding things. Each day it seemed they grew more apart. She did not even act jealous in the slightest way that he gave the last red rose to Callista.
It was hopeless and stupid of him. All he could do now was just to protect her the least he could do.
"If anything happens, don’t hesitate to get her to safety. Her safety should be your priority even before you get word to me."

The sun went down, and the sky was dark, adorned with multiple twinkling stars, and the moon shone about the city of Vitalis.
It was the lantern festival, or some call it the festival of love because it was held to celebrate the ending of the rose duel.
