Claire walked steadily out of the palace gates. As expected, she immediately saw Jolie and Catherine not far away.
The two women were still standing in the same spot as before, unabashedly gazing at her face, probably observing the situation here the whole time.
Claire did not hesitate in her steps or show any surprise. She strode forward calmly, as she had to return to the king's palace.
Just as she was thinking about how to handle it if Catherine suspected her again and gave her trouble, Jolie shifted her gaze to Catherine's face and said softly, "Your Majesty, she was only in there for four minutes. It seems she really just met with Prince Louis to deliver the tea leaves."
Even old friends wouldn't chat for just four minutes.
Catherine nodded thoughtfully and glanced at the approaching girl. "Perhaps I was overthinking. She and Louis don't even know each other."
Jolie believed this view as well.
"Let's go," Catherine didn't want an awkward encounter. She strode towards a nearby stone path.
"Aren't you going to see the king?" Jolie quickly caught up and reminded her of the purpose of this trip.
"I won't go for now. I need to prepare to welcome Mr. Marsh." Catherine had no intention of seeing the king.
She simply wanted to see Claire and observe her condition.
The sudden arrangement of an Arab doctor into the royal family, plus a translator, felt a bit off the more she thought about it.
But now after seeing Claire, she didn't seem abnormal at all.
Since she was Ivan's sister, it was best not to be suspicious and unconditionally believe for once.
Men who thrive in the business world generally dote on their sisters a lot.
Catherine swore she must cling to Ivan, this big tree!
