Chapter 138- Ruli's Dedication

Zach entered the dining hall and bumped into Aquarius.

"Oh! You are here," she said with a smile on her face. "I sent guards to wake you up, but they said you weren't responding. So I thought I should check up on you since… You know, it's not appropriate for guards to enter someone's room without permission. But now that you are here, let's eat breakfast."

"Yeah…" Zach averted his gaze and thought, 'I can't even look her in the eyes.'

"Where were you, by the way?" she asked.

"I was… having trouble waking up…"

Zach walked to the dining table and noticed the sixth and Rilu weren't there.

"Where did your father go?" he asked as he sat on the chair beside Aurora.

"He is busy with his… well… Kingly duty and mama went for the tea party with her friends," Aquarius answered.

"I see…"

Aurora was staring at Zach with a curious look on her face as though she was seeking attention.

"Good morning!" she said in a loud voice.
