A Bad Friend

As soon as the carriage rode out of the royal palace gate, Yohana broke into tears. She hid her face on Fabian's arm. Fabian slowly let go of his arm and wrapped it around his sister. He pulled her closer and stroked her head gently. 

Just as Henrie told him, Fabian asked nothing. Even though he was curious, he swallowed the questions and waited until Yohana was ready to talk about it. 

On their way home, Fabian was weighing the possibilities of what could have happened to Yohana. 

She told him she wanted to meet with Princess Elke and help with the coffee house business. Did she have a fight with the second princess? Judging from Princess Elke's personality, it was possible that the princess said something too blunt that hurt Yohana.

However, Yohana wasn't the type to get hurt easily by words. She was cool-headed and could see the meaning behind one's words no matter what tone one used to speak to her.
