Chapter 141

Ember's POV

"Ember?" Jean asked, sounding confused, "pardon me if I sound unhappy to hear from you, but why are you calling so early? Is something the matter?" he asked, and genuinely sounded worried.

True. I never really called this early.

I chuckled lightly and tried to reassure him,

"Nothing terribly worrisome. It's just that I went to a banquet yesterday and I noticed something I'd like to talk to you about,"

"a banquet? What banquet? you didn't tell me about no banquets."

"no no, I didn't tell you about the banquet, because it was all of a sudden," I said, and tried to figure out a way to tell him I attended a banquet by Luna Lara, without him getting triggered.

"so, are you going to tell me about the banquet?" he asked and I sighed

"yeah. It was Paris's mother's. Well, technically, she organized it for his sister…but I'm sure you understand the picture." I said and bit my lip in worry at the silence that ensued.,
