Chapter 193: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (57)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (57) ༻

Sunlight radiated through the window, forming hexagonal shapes.

The intensive care unit, where numerous students were hospitalized, was bustling despite the quietness. While the foot traffic itself wasn’t significant, the footsteps betrayed their anxiety.

The repeated indication of someone’s presence, brisk footsteps on the marble floor, continued. Until that moment, neither Cien nor Young Lady Lupesia had not exchanged any words.

The Imperial Princess wore an awkward smile, while Young Lady Lupesia simply stared back at her, wearing a blank expression. It was a different atmosphere from their previous encounter.

At that time, Young Lady Lupesia was trembling and, with a confident and alluring attitude, the Imperial Princess persuaded her.

However, that dynamic was shattered within a few days.

Now, the princess was the wrongdoer chased by everyone, and Young Lady Lupesia was treating her unkindly.

Of course, it wasn’t overtly disdainful.

Young Lady Lupesia still maintained courtesy, and her expression was somewhat composed, but it was all just a mask of pretense.

No matter how much Cien had fallen from grace as an enemy of the academy, she was still part of the Imperial Family.

There was no mere noble from the empire who dared not lift their head proudly to confront such a person.

If there was one unfortunate fact, it was that false kindness had no effect on Cien.

Every nuance of Young Lady Lupesia’s sincerity was captured by those dazzling light gray eyes.

The cold enmity tore through her chest.The sense of disappointment that was felt inside that gaze left Cien somewhat perplexed..

She wanted to ask why.

However, before the Imperial Princess had the chance to vocalize such inner thoughts, Young Lady Lupesia opened her mouth first.

“…For what reason have you come?”

Hearing those words made Cien snap to her senses.

Well, now was not the time to nitpick about this and that.
