"And why are you here?" Drigo was the first one who notice Ava the moment she walked inside the conference hall.
"Your Highness," Ava smiled.
"Answer my question.'
"I am here to participate."
"A slave has no right to participate in this conference."
Ava smiled. "His Highness Matthew cannot come so he asked me to participate in the conference in his stead."
Drigo narrowed. "Where is he now?"
"He told me not to tell you," she answered without batting an eyelid.
Drigo frowned. He looked around and suddenly held Ava's wrist and pulled her to the side.
"I suggest you leave now."
"I said, I am here as his highness— "
"I don't care. Leave. You are not welcome here."
Ava sighed. She rolled her eyes inwardly.
Then she walked past him.
"What are you— " Drigo held her arm. He used enough force to stop her from walking but not enough to hurt her. "I said leave!"
