"I heard you went to see Zenna," Aria remarked, watching as Nina carefully examined the necklaces sent by the Queen.
"Yes," Nina replied without looking up.
Aria tilted her head slightly, curiosity flashing in her eyes. "Are you two close friends?"
Nina shook her head. "No, we aren't. I went to see her for a particular reason. I wanted to ask about Crown Prince Leon. I thought she might know more about him."
Aria let out a soft chuckle. "Then you went to the wrong person, Nina." Crossing her arms, she added, "I'm surprised you didn't come to me first. Am I not trustworthy? Or is it because of what I did to Zenna?"
Nina finally met her gaze and quickly shook her head. "No, Princess Aria, that's not the case. I just didn't want to disturb you. I'm sorry if it seemed like I overlooked you. I should have come to you first."
Aria studied her for a moment before exhaling softly. "It's fine. But Zenna probably didn't have anything good to say about us, did she?"
