Lunch with the main characters

 The room was brightly lit with a chandelier hanging in the middle of the room, and the table filled with food. There was no way just 4 people could finish it. This was the same gloomy dining room where she had her meals. The vibe was different this time around. 

 Abrielle walked over to the table and took a seat next to Cedric, " You look pale," Cedric whispered in her ears as she sat down, making them look intimate to others. A tired smile graced Abrielle's face. She truly didn't know how to mask her true emotions. 

 The meal officially started with the maid helping to serve the dishes, Lucian seemed to be the only talkative on the table. He was informing Cedric about their new findings from the investigation. 

 Abrielle was a bit surprised that he didn't mind sharing this information when she was there. The princess did her best to make her presence as little as possible, eating quietly, but in life, you never get what you want.
