67: A belated confession [pt1]

Eve wanted to pay attention to what Head Priest and Lord Dirac were discussing but she could not bring herself to pay attention to them at all.

Instead, her eyes strayed toward Elysia and her tired body. Her eyes threatened to drop once or twice already which was an indication of just how tired she currently was.

'Look at those dark circles. Even the make-up cannot fully hide them. And her hair, when did she cut it that short? And why?'

Whosoever had helped Elysia get ready this morning had not done a good job. Anyone could tell how bad she currently looked. 

There was a comment to be made about her shorter hair but Eve could not bring herself to say anything about it.

Eve wanted to head over to her friend and help her out but her father had warned Eve to not create a scene today. 

"Then, this is how we will do things. I hope you don't have a problem with our current arrangements, Lord Dirac?"
