Chapter 242 Unwelcome Truths
Bran turned to look at him, stunned. Are you serious?
Cassian raised a brow, offering no explanation. The guard added, “Her Majesty was nearby at the time. She saw is happen.”
Bran frowned. “Wouldn’t that offend the Crown Prince’s Wing? Her Majesty won’t forget this.”

The flickering light softened the sharp lines of his face, giving him a calmer, almost scholarly air.
