My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

Chapter 0252 "Interesting."

"Excuse me, your highnesses. I wonder If i could have a word with Miss Skylar here about some of her suggestions today. I was truly fascinated by your ideas young lady." A grizzled but kind looking old man says to me. As innocent as he looks though, Xander's warning is making alarms blare in my head.
