THE SOUGHT-AFTER PRINCESS

"PAPA BOSS, please behave while I'm gone, okay?"

Nikolai raised a brow at Neoma. "Little rogue, just what are you planning for leaving your fox boy behind?"

He was free to talk to his daughter that way because they were walking side by side on the pathway leading to the carriage she'd be using.

Glenn and Geoffrey were standing behind them. The other servants with Neoma's luggage were walking behind the two Paladins. Moreover, whenever he talked to Neoma outside while she was dressed as the Crown Prince, he would put a spell around them that avoid being eavesdropped on.

"I'm not planning anything, Papa Boss," Neoma said with a fake smile on her face. "Lewis isn't in the condition to travel because of the injuries that he got from his training. And it's not like I'm going to leave him behind completely. He's going to follow me after getting a full day's rest anyway."

And that what made it more suspicious.
