The servant answered, Its Princess Beatrice, Your Highness. It wouldnt have mattered if it was anyone else. However, Victor didnt feel comfortable meeting Beatrice.

Tell her to come by later, he said. However, the door creaked open. From outside, Victor could hear the troubled servants voice.

Quite a bit of time had passed since teatime finished. Max checked the time and frowned slightly. The evening meeting was about to start. He wouldnt have cared usually, but strangely, his subordinates were all he could think about at this moment. I think I should head back now, he said reluctantly.

I will do my best as well. Jubelian looked at him as if to ask what, but Max smiled instead of answering. Stay safe. Before she could say anything else, Max quickly disappeared from view.

Left alone, she mumbled, We wont be able to see each other again for a week How could he just leave like that? How heartless of him.
