New Arrivals

"It is indeed a pleasure to meet you again as well," Alex said. "What are you doing here?"

"I arrived with His Highness for the auction," she said.

"Oh, the Crown Prince is here as well, is he?" Alex asked.

The girl nodded. "King Tan took His Highness somewhere to speak privately. They should be back in a bit," she said.

"I see," Alex said, sitting down on one of the chairs. "I'm sorry if I'm misremembering, but I believe you said that you couldn't visit the auction, didn't you?"

"Ahem," Lady Zhan looked a little embarrassed. "I did, didn't I?" she asked. "Well, I'm afraid things have changed a little and I now have time to visit the auction."

"You now have free time?" Alex asked, thinking for a moment. "Oh, the pill you were making, did you manage to fully make it? I remember hearing you were successful."

"Yes, I made the pill," she said.
