She completely forgot that Arthur shouldn't even know Nnenna talk more of behaving that way around her.
In this moment, surrounded by all this tension and suspicion, she looked like the only person in the room truly at peace.
After eating a few more pieces of popcorn, Arthur finally turned his gaze back to Jana as if she were an afterthought. "What were you saying again?" he asked lazily, genuinely looking like he'd forgotten every word she had spoken.
The crowd nearly fainted.
This was supposed to be his terrible revenge for having his feelings rejected? If anything, it was more like he simply couldn't be bothered to care.
A ripple of whispers spread through the room.
"I don't believe Jana anymore," a girl muttered to her friend, her voice low but fierce. "If Prince Arthur really liked her, would he act like she's invisible?"
"Exactly," her friend whispered back. "And look at her, she's not even his type. He could have any princess or duchess he wanted."
