To avoid suspicion, Claire simply smiled, her eyes shining as she looked at Taylor.
And this smile warmed Taylor's heart. He waved at her and exclaimed, "Hey, Claire!" with a smile on his face, he quickened his pace towards her.
As a result, Taylor completely ignored Rowan, who was approaching from the opposite direction.
Rowan remained calm, not looking back, and continued walking towards the king's palace. He could sense that Taylor had a liking for Claire.
But at this moment, he could only remain indifferent.
"Claire, I finally found you!" Taylor exclaimed happily.
"Prince Taylor, what are you doing here?" Claire smiled and asked, "Don't you have any homework today?"
"I've finished my homework," Taylor said with a smile, extending an invitation to her. "The weather is nice today, and I thought of taking you horseback riding. Are you interested?"
"I don't have time," Claire smiled and replied, "I have to find my brother."
"Your brother isn't in the palace," he informed her. "He's with my mother, visiting the royal collection room. They just left, and they probably won't be back for another three hours."
Claire hesitated...
"Would you like to come to the stables with me?" Taylor extended his invitation once again.
The girl smiled and shook her head. "No, thank you. I have translation work to do later. I just took on this job, and it wouldn't be good if the king couldn't find me."
Taylor understood. He smiled and spoke gently, "Then, shall I walk you back to your father now?"
Claire met his sincere gaze and nodded reluctantly.
She thought that Prince Taylor's enthusiasm might prove useful if she handled it properly.
So, the two of them walked towards the king's palace.
Claire knew that Rowan was there. Even if she just caught a glimpse of him from a distance, she would feel at ease. She missed him.
As Taylor and Claire entered the palace, they coincidentally saw the king coming downstairs. Rowan hurriedly went up the stairs to assist him. "Father."
