A little too peaceful

"Maybe I am overthinking this?" Ethan thought about it for a moment and shook his head. Nope. he was definitely not overthinking this. His gaze fell on the other four who were sticking to Lyra like flies on shit. This was all related to her. He had no doubt about it.

But in a way, it was good news. This means all he needed to do was stay away from that woman and he was golden. There was no longer any need to worry about the bounty on his head.

Also, he moved closer to Lia. "Lia, I need your help." He whispered to her the plan, making the young woman blush but she did not say anything opposed to it. 

So for all the onlooker's eyes, Ethan seemed to be enjoying the meal with his maid, a little too intimate, talking and laughing with her openly. Something that was frowned upon.

One might even think that he had moved on from Lady Lyra.
