Nicholas kept pacing back and forth in his room as everything he had realized kept replaying in his mind. He needed to see Luciana tonight…but how?
Apart from the increased security around the crown princess' estate, he had realized throughout the one week after his return that David always spends the night at Luciana's estate and had not once visited his other two concubines.
As he was in deep concentration, his gaze moved to the girl who was on her knees and cleaning the dusty corners in his chambers. He had not decided what to do with her yet since his thoughts had been on Luciana lately.
She was beautiful, not like Luciana's alluring beauty, but with the right grooming, she was sure to turn heads. Maybe he should try it out?
"Evelyn, stop doing that and come over here," Nicholas said to the girl, and she hurriedly got on her feet and bowed.
