"I don't know. Why don't you ask the guards to get us some fried chicken and French fries? Didn't Mateo say that we can ask the guards for food?" Renee said.
Leia's anxiety eased as she relaxed. She turned around and got out of bed, then gestured at the guard and ordered quite a lot of food.
Meanwhile, Liam accompanied Benjamin to West River in the morning for a negotiation that yielded a good result.
Benjamin's attitude had improved. He didn't demand an explanation from Liam about the affairs between Liam and Amber, and didn't ask about Renee or Leia either.
Liam was delighted. He carried the unique desserts he had bought at the local market for Renee and Leia to enjoy. Upon arrival, he found that they were not in the room.
"Weird. Where did they go?" Liam looked around, but found no sign of Renee and Leia. He casually asked a servant, but the servant stammered and insisted on not knowing anything.
Anxious, Liam kept looking for them in the fort. Coincidentally, he ran into Amber, who just came back from the orchard.
Generally, Amber didn't have much to do in the fort except study with a tutor, make clothes, or head to the orchard to check the growth and harvest of the trees.
"You're back, Liam." Seeing Liam, Amber she in a friendly and polite manner.
Liam frowned; he disliked how polite she had become. It made him feel like they were distant. Although they weren't that close, they almost got married. He couldn't get used to how she was suddenly treating him like he was a stranger.
"What a coincidence! I want to talk to you." It was unknown whether Liam did it purposely or not. He approached Amber and grabbed her wrist. "Do you know where my sister and Renee went? I looked around, but no one knew."
'Aren't they in the room?" Amber looked around. "I was busy sewing my wedding gown today and only came out in the evening. I wanted to invite them for a stroll in the orchard, but they might not want to see me. Plus, Ms. Everheart's legs are still recovering, so I didn't disturb them. I thought they were still in the room."
"No, there's no one in the room. I looked everywhere in the fort except for the orchard. I couldn't find them."
Liam looked at the large and dense orchard behind Amber. It resembled a tropical forest. "Did you see them in the orchard?"
Based on his understanding of Leia, she must have gone to the orchard for some fun. She probably climbed a tree to pick fruits, so it was very likely that they were in the orchard.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"I didn't see them just now, but this orchard is huge. Maybe they're in another area," Amber said.
She was telling the truth. When she arrived, Mateo had already taken Renee and Leia away. He had also ordered the others to keep it a secret. Naturally, she was unaware of the conflict that happened in the morning.
'I'm not familiar with this orchard. If it's okay with you... Can you lead the way?" Liam asked, having decided to look for Renee and Leia in the orchard.
