256 "If you can,"

Seeing that the show was over, Harvey rose to leave and turned to look at Luciana when he noticed her presence. It was just the two of them there.

"Is Lady Susan not supposed to be your betrothed?" Seeing that she had gotten Harvey's attention, Luciana asked.

"Are you not supposed to be Prince Ivan's wife?" Harvey asked, making Luciana's brows pull together.

"What does that have to do with my question?" She asked in confusion as she tried to find the connection.

"What is your question?" Harvey asked, feigning ignorance, and Luciana eyed him with mild annoyance.

"Why are you letting Sir Lance chase after her that way? I think he fancies her," Luciana said, and Harvey merely looked at her without saying a word.

Before now, he had never had any reason to communicate with her in any way until they had met in Susan's chamber the previous day, so he couldn't understand why she was asking him questions as though they were friends.
