Shard hesitated for a moment, but decided to be honest:
"Well, I'm not always alone at night... Actually, Princess Lecia invited me to watch an opera together tonight... in her private box."
The girl with the headscarf raised an eyebrow:
"Speaking of that princess, I still don't understand why Dorothy agreed to let her join you two..."
She couldn't discuss this topic in a public place:
"Have fun tonight, and I hope that poor princess remembers to bring the Ever-Youth Leaf."
She stopped speaking because Shard suddenly had a serious expression on his face.
The Outlander looked again towards the staircase:
"Someone else has appeared."
"Who?"
Luviya didn't look over, as too many eyes could alert the perceptive Circle Sorcerers.
