Chapter 154 Emergency

The hum of chatter faded as soon as the Steward announced their arrival and every

person in attendance stood and turned to watch the newly instated royal couple with

of the Royal Enclave.

behind some of these faces.’

sarcastically. ‘Are you ever going to let that go?’ Ann replied with a little sigh as her

frustration leaked into her tone. ‘Evidently not. You’re a big girl. You can take it. Own
