Chapter 155This Did Not Bode Well at All

Ann and Adam followed the senior Elder in front of them, with the Enclave guard

contained on all sides by the Royal guard as they made their way to one of the private

didn’t miss the curious look that Adam gave her either.

possible, but there was a definite hint of suspicion in his tone.

had committed, the fault did
