Annora's Rage

"Cassian?" Annora took a step back.

"How dare you call the Crown Prince by his name?" One of his attendants immediately reacted.

"Please forgive my companion. She hasn't been out much and doesn't know the etiquette."

Edward's death stare was enough for Annora to bow her head and shut up. 

Upon entering the banquet the first person they saw was the Crown Prince. He was the centre of attention. The birthday boy was nowhere to be seen. 

Cassian took no offence to the disrespect shown. He ignored the duo and scanned the crowd for Adeline. 

Edward quickly spotted the Northern Duke, there were some things to discuss with him.

The moment he left, Annora tried to approach Cassian. Why was she doing this, she asked herself. She wanted to grab him by the collar and pour out her resentment.
