Chapter 66

‘Why is he even here? Wasn't he at the Second Prince's palace earlier? Could it be that he's targeting me instead of Lia?’
Countless thoughts raced through my mind in a matter of seconds. If Frederick were present, he might have playfully remarked that my thoughts were too quick for even him to read.
‘Why did Robain come and find me? Surely he's not seeking revenge for me coming between him and Lia.’
"...Hey there, old man."
‘Let's play dumb for now.’
I met his gaze with an innocent expression.
‘What business could he possibly have in the palace? There are plenty of people here who might see... nope, there’s no one here. Damn, the First Prince’s palace. See if I ever come here again!’
"Why are you wandering around alone? Where's your sister?"
Robain asked, his eyes forming gentle crescent shapes.
In that instant, I became certain.
‘He’s gone insane, isn’t he? Give me a break. When is Lia coming back…?’
"So now you're going to act like you don't see me?"
