Since Arlan returned from the conference, he stayed inside his study and didn't step out for the next several hours, busying himself with work. No one was allowed to disturb him and Oriana could only see him only whenever she brought tea.
Fortunately, when night came, the prince did not order for his meal to be brought to the study. He headed to the dining room to eat.
During the meal, Oriana observed Arlan. In fact, it was not just her. Everyone was on high alert, from the servants to the knights, the tension in the air palpable. The kind of silent pressure the prince was exuding made no one dare to make the slightest sounds.
If this continued, Oriana wondered how she was going to bring up what happened last night. Not to mention, she also had to find a good chance to tell him she was a woman.
'Maybe tonight, when he is about to sleep…?'
