"Lady Liya, you shouldn't be seen here. You're already betrothed to the Crown Prince, and much more than that—why are you even joining this organization?" Caius asked calmly.
"Eldest Prince Caius, the Crown Prince and I have an agreement. He gave his consent to this. As for why I'm joining… it's to see you," Liya said, causing Caius to feel like he no longer belonged to this world.
What did I miss? Even if we're friends, you're already engaged to his younger brother. What will people say? Why would she even come here just to see me? This is going to be so weird...
And above all, he was curious. What kind of deal did his brother and Liya make that allowed her to join this organization? And even worse, based on his earlier exchange with the weakest general of the Dreadborne, this trial…
This organization is anything but simple.
Liya smiled faintly as she noticed the puzzled expression on Caius' face.
