CHAPTER 126
~Author's POV~
Both girls turned fully at the sound of the familiar voice.
There, standing in soft white and violet robes, her presence radiant and unmistakable, stood Princess Titania of the Fae Court. Her golden hair was braided into a thick crown, delicate leaves woven through the strands.
Emerald's eyes widened instantly.
"Princess," she greeted quickly, dipping her head.
"Hello, Emerald," Titania replied, her tone light. "I asked her to meet me. Forgive the interruption to your schedule."
Emerald straightened. "In that case… I'll leave her to you."
Titania gave her a small nod. "Much appreciated."
With that, Emerald gave Marianne a warning glance before turning on her heel and disappearing into the trees.
Titania turned to Marianne.
"Come. We have much to discuss," she said coolly, her gaze unreadable.
"Yes, Princess," Marianne murmured.
As they walked away together, the air shifted and Emerald halted to look at the duo.
