“Oh my, what happened?”

Prim put down the brush that she was holding loosely. Her face was full of surprised.

“Prim!”

Elena smiled brightly and hugged Prim. Prim was still speechless with the sudden visit but ended up hugging her back.

“I am a bit sad, Prim. You didn’t even bother to tell me that you have become an Imperial Painter.”

“I’m sorry, the situation was too hectic. I forgot to tell you.”

“If I hadn’t visited you, I think you would never tell me, right?”

“No.”

Prim shook her head vigorously, denying her accusation. Elena sighs and says that she just let it slide this time.

“But it’s great to see you again like this.”

She clasped Prim’s hand. Her eyes glistened like a red ruby.

Prim just smiled with Elena’s presence.

“You guys are too close.”

A deep yet pleasing voice was heard from the door. It was Reynsis. His flaming blue eyes glared at their hands but his mouth formed a smile.

Elena deliberately pulled Prim’s hand close to her and flashed a bright smile to him. Reynsis’s eyebrows twiched with the sight.

A bright invisible spark flashed between them. But being dense as she is, she would never noticed the uncomfortable tension between the so-called main characters.
