Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Luciana left the kitten here, asking the critter-keepers to look after it for a couple of days. The kitten had fallen into the water and was getting chilled by the wind. She didn't dare to move it around too much, so she decided to leave it here for treatment. At this point, Camille returned. After struggling to find the right words, she finally said dryly, "Prince Hutton... is still alive." Beyond that, there wasn't much else to say-it was definitely a rough situation. "Good. My clothes are dirty, so let's head out of the palace early." Luciana reached out to per the kitten and instructed, "Take good care! of it. I'll come check on it tomorrow. If it's doing better, I'll take it back with me The kitten seemed to understand, nuzzling her hand affectionately. Animals were the best-they could sense who was kind to them. Caleb didn't leave immediately. He took a detour to the Royal Menagerie to make sure the kitten was being treated before finally heading out. On his way back, he happened to run into Dorian, who was in a hurry to pick up Juliette. He'd begged the Queen for ages to summon Juliette into the palace so he could explain what happened the day before. As they passed each other, Dorian suddenly noticed the cloak in Caleb's arms. "Stop right there!" Dorian barked, snatching the cloak away. "Where'd you get this?" Who the hell's tossing Luciana's stuff around?" he wondered. "Princess of Latymer just gave it to me. Give it back!" Caleb looked nervous but didn't let go. I'll wash it and return it to her. Luciana's cloak wasn't cheap-he hadn't even dared to drape it over himself. "She gave it to you?" Dorian's voice rose in disbelief, his brows furrowing. He noticed Caleb's soaked clothes, but in his mind, Luciana and Caleb barely knew each other. They weren't close-why would she just casually hand over her cloak? While Dorian was still processing, Caleb yanked the cloak back and bolted out of sight. "It's just a piece of clothing. Why do I even care?" Dorian muttered to himself. If ise were the one soaked, Luciana would've done the same. Wait-150 it should only be me, right? Did Luciana treat everyone this nicely?' Dorian stopped in his tracks again, an inexplicable sourness rising in his chest, like he'd lost something important-leaving him feeling hollow. Even after picking up Juliette, he wasn't as happy as he'd imagined. The two went to see the Queen, but after just a few words, Durian excused himself, claiming he still had unfinished studies to attend to, and left. "Go find out where Luciana went after leaving Mother's place. He was just curious, wondering how she and Caleb had met. Turned out, they just met today. "Princess of Latymer will be entering the palace again tomorrow," the young servant reported honestly. Dorian frowned. "What's that got to do with me?" Even though he said that, the next day when Luciana went to the Royal Menagerie, he somehow ended up following her. He even made up an excuse for himself-saying he was there to see the parrots. 1/2 400 FM PP. Chapter 23 "Your Highness, why are you here?" The servant was surprised to see him and hurried over. Dorian cleared his throat. "Nothing, just wanted to check out the parrots you guys keep" The servant was about to lead him there, but he wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he lingered, asking a bunch of questions. Meanwhile, Luciana completely ignored him, focused solely on stroking the tiny kitten curled up in her lap. With every gentle touch, the little furball let out a soft purr. Its tail flicked lazily, eyes half-closed in contentment, occasionally nuzzling her fingers affectionately-enough to melt Luciana's heart. 2/2 Title: ReelTalk EP 43 - Recreating Iconic ReelShort Looks with Sarah Moliski, Sarah Noelle, and Maria Barseghian Author: CrushReel Genre: Romance Status: ongoing In the latest episode of ReelTalk, fashion takes center stage as host Sarah Moliski joins forces with stars Sarah Noelle and Maria Barseghian to tackle a captivating style challenge.
