We’re not sure which is worse…

Rast smirked to himself. With the combination of Sophia and Adeline, along with Anara, it was certain that Lea would have a hard time finding a suitor.

Too bad, she was such a beautiful girl, Rast thought.

"Rast, you're not thinking of causing trouble, are you?"

"Who, me? I wouldn't dream of it, Mylady."

Adeline rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. "Just keep your distance from Lea, Rast. She's too good for your games."

"I swear, I have only the best intentions."

"That's what worries me," Adeline shot back, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.

Sophia said, her eyes softening. "We all want what's best for Lea, Mylord."

Rast sighed, his smirk gone. "Very well, Your Majesty the Queen, Lady Adeline, Princess Anara, and... Lea... I will return to my patrol," Rast decided, giving a respectful bow before resuming his duties.
