Chapter 116
Earl Carson, Prince Alan, and the others arrived at a luxurious restaurant followed by their respective guards and servants .
Once they reached the restaurant, two waiters greeted them respectfully with a bow .
"Your highness, Earl, please follow us . " One of the waiters said .
The earl and the prince nodded and followed after the waiters .
They were led to a private room on the last floor, far from other people's ears and perfect for a secret meeting .
"Young master and miss Alice are waiting for you inside . " The waiter said . Earl Carson nodded and proceeded to enter the room followed by the prince the others . Each one of them was followed by a personal servant, so a total of eight people entered the private room .
When they entered, they saw a young man and a white-haired girl seated in front of a table . An old man and a young female knight were standing behind the white-haired girl, and an ice-cold looking woman was standing behind the young man .
Seeing the group enter, the girl and the young man stood up respectfully . The white-haired girl curtsied elegantly and let out a small giggle .
"Your highness Alan, Earl Carson, it's a pleasure to meet you . "
"The pleasure is mine, Miss Alice . " Prince Alan answered . His eyes shone with a spellbound look when he saw the sickly beauty of the white-haired girl . "You are much more beautiful than the last time we met . "
Alice covered her mouth and giggled innocently . "Your highness has also become much more handsome . " She then shot a brief look to the clearly displeased Christine (Alan's fiancée) and a peculiar light flashed through her eyes .
"Allow me to do the introductions . " Changing the topic, Alice looked at the young man beside her . "This young master is Albert Carmell . He arrived at the capital recently on behalf of his family and accepted my invitation to this meeting . "
The young man smiled . "How can I reject the invitation of a beauty like Miss Alice?"
Alice giggled and remained silent . The prince, on the other hand, looked deeply at the young man .
Earl Carson raised his eyebrows when he heard the young man's name . "So young master Albert is someone of the Carmell family huh . It explains young master Albert's exceptional bearings . "
"You flatter me, Earl Riea . "
The group then started some small talks about different topics and conversed cordially . Soon, some servants brought various kinds of dishes and beverages to the group .
Alice started to eat happily, tasting a bit of each dish . Afterward, she looked at the earl and asked in an innocent tone .
"Right, Earl Carson, it's rare of you to arrive late to a meeting . Did something happen?"
The one who answered was Prince Alan . "Nothing important . We just met my little brother on the way here . "
"Oh? Prince Bryan?"
"No, it was Claus . " Alan said indifferently, but his words carried a slight trace of disdain . "He came to play in the new attraction with my little sister . "
Alice's eyes flashed . Many thoughts passed through her mind in an instant, showing her thousand of different results .
"Prince Claus huh . I met him before . " She finally said .
"Oh?" Earl Carlson showed an expression of interest . "What do you think about him, miss Alice?"
Alice was waiting for that question . "Very handsome and mysterious . Actually, I would like to meet him again . " She smiled innocently and spoke with a slight blush on her face . Her expression was the perfect image of a girl in love talking about her crush .
An awkward silence fell into the room . Prince Alan and young master Albert furrowed their brows in displeasure . Earl Carson, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something .
"… Thinking about it, he truly was an interesting young man . " Mia, who had not spoken from the start, suddenly opened her mouth . "Even although I talked to him only for a few minutes, I got the feeling that he is not simple . "
Earl Carson looked at his wife in doubt . "Why do you think so?"
