A ROMANTIC NIGHT

NEOMA almost laughed while watching the father-and-son duo have different reactions when Ruto approached her.

Duke Drayton looked displeased, but Rubin Drayton looked relieved.

And the young lord's reaction pissed her off a bit.

[I mean, I don't want Rubin to fake falling for me. But it's annoying to see him act as if he was doing me a favor by greeting me. I should be the one acting haughty and not the other way around.]

"I apologize for interrupting your conversation," Ruto said politely after greeting Aunt Brigitte, Uncle Dominic, and the Draytons. Then he turned to Neoma. "Princess Neoma, our Sun Priestess wishes to have an audience with you. Will you spare her a moment of your time?"

Hmm?

It ended peacefully.
