A LITTLE WHITE LIE

"YOUR ROYAL Highness, I'm here to report what I've heard while secretly watching Lady Eclaire."

Nathaniel sipped his tea before he looked up at the man standing in front of him. "Good job, Jack."

Jack was his Shadow Knight.

Since he couldn't be with Eclaire all the time, he asked Jack to keep an eye on her.

"So, did you hear something interesting?" Nathaniel asked. "You wouldn't come to my study at this hour if you have nothing worthwhile to report."

"I believe Prince Graham and Lady Eclaire are more than just friends," Jack said bluntly. "I heard Lady Eclaire invite Prince Graham to her room."

Okay, that surprised him a bit.

[I know that Eclaire and Graham are close, but I didn't expect them to be intimate.]
