Chapter 40 Chapter 40 a great cook-it's a real shame he ended up in the palace. Luciana put down her fork, clearly still craving more. "Such a Camille handed her a handkerchief, not daring to voice her opinion. Luciana had always put Dorian first. The cook wasn't the only one she'd sent into the palace before. It was the first time she was putting herself first. Everyone around Luciana was glad to see this change. But they didn't know how long it lasted. Over the next few days, Luciana went to the palace every day, checking in on Francesca's health, reminding her not to worry and to rest more. Luciana said all the right things, but when it came to asking her to help Dorian, she still refused. That day, just as Francesca was about to bring it up again, Luciana stood up and lett, showing no intention of getting involved. "What's wrong with Luciana this me? It's been days. Isn't it time she let it go? She's still mad at her own brother?" Francesca's voice was Jaced with frustration. "Why is she suddenly acting so immature?" Luciana had always been the most sensible one in Francesca's eyes. No matter what happened, she would try to solve the problem first. Even if she was upset or felt wronged, she would only talk about it afterward. But this time, Luciana had clearly decided not to step in. Dorian was still confined, and Trenton hadn't visited him once out of anger. "If she's upset, she could wait until Dorian is released and then scold him. That's her little brother, not some outsider. How could she just leave him like this?" Francesca kept grumbling. Jeannie sighed beside her, looking worried. "Prince Dorian has visibly lost a lot of weight" A hint of pain flickered in Francesca's eyes. She said, "Can't be just lower his head a little?" Francesca had already sent someone to tell him that Luciana was mad. And he should send someone to apologize, then Luciana would definitely help him then. But all the talk in the world wouldn't help unless Dorian apologized first. And Dorian had flat-out refused. He even said he didn't need Luciana's help. Trenton couldn't possibly keep him locked up forever. Dorian wasn't willing to give in, and there was nothing Francesca could do. Jeannie looked troubled as she replied, "Prince Dorian has been asking about Princess of Camoy every day-several times a day. He wants to know if she's come to the palace yet or if she's recovered from her cold" Francesca lifted a hand to her forehead. Her head was starting to hurt. She thought, Juliette is never sick-she has been faking it. "And this foolish boy still believes her, even thinking Juliette may save him "Forget it. Send someone to Juliette's estate. Bring her to the palace. Francesca gave the order with a sigh This time, Juliette didn't make excuses and reluctantly came to the palace. On her way in, Luciana deliberately slowed her steps so she wouldn't run into her. Camille was confused. "Princess Luciana, if you don't plan on helping Prince Dorian, why come to the palace every day? You could've done what Princess Juliette did and stayed far away." "Avoiding her wouldn't be clear enough. I already said I'm not getting involved with Dorian. I can't just hide every time," Luciana said as she turned to walk in another direction. Instead of leaving the palace right away, Luciana went to bring Caleb some paper and brushes. These days, after checking in on Francesca, Luciana would always stop by to see him. 13 402 PM P P Chapter 40 ne to on Though no one dared mistreat a prince in the palace, when it came one with no background, people were bound to be careless. No one really put in any effort, Luciana showed up more often so they'd pay more attention.
