NIKOLAI actually wanted to talk to Juliet in private, but it was impossible.
When he returned to the Royal Palace, the representatives of the Twelve Golden Families: Count Sean Dankworth, Marquis Lawford Gibson, Duke Arman Winchester, Marquis Frank Balasco, Count Emerson Zachary, Marquis Russell Spencer, Count Benjamin Russo, Count Larry Dawkins, Count Tyler Lucchesi, Viscount Austin Morrisey, Duke Rufus Quinzel, and Marquis Vincent Lennox.
Out of the twelve representatives, he was glad to see his cousin the most.
[I'm glad you're safe, Rufus.]
He could see it in Rufus' eyes that he had many things to report.
[Let's talk later.]
He didn't have the time to greet his cousin properly because he made eye contact with the person he didn't want to meet the most right now: Marquis Vincent Lennox– Juliet's maternal grandfather.
