Leaving In The Dark

"Go on eating, it will take some time." Renata was a bit hungry since Alice had eaten all the snacks in a single time. 

She took the offer and started eating freshly peeled soft oranges and apples. She did not pay much attention to the meeting since she did not want to anger him.

She remembered how he had asked her to stay away from the affairs of the palace. If he wanted her to only act arrogant and dumb then she would.

She did not care or notice the expressions of others when Leo personally peeled and cut fruits from her while only nodding his head slightly at their words.

Getting the confidence back that they would not be insulted anymore, the man read the whole report with much excited voice and ended it quickly, afraid that the penetrative eyes of his majesty would be on him again.

But in the end, Leo only said, "next!" and then another person stood and read his report.
