The atmosphere was particularly strange.
Zane silently watched the two of them from the side.
He naturally also understood his cousin's mood at the moment.
After years of asceticism, being admired by others as an exalted figure in power, the girl he liked could not be touched by others, nor could anyone else covet her.
It was all just possessiveness at work.
He eased the tension, saying, "Weren't you welcoming me to Kystral and supposed to treat this heroic figure to dinner? Let's not make the atmosphere so tense."
Seeing Keane not respond, Claire asked, "When did you arrive in Kystral, Zane?"
"I arrived yesterday, if you have time later, call him to show me around."
"Sure, but I've been quite busy recently, so I might not have the time."
Zane was puzzled, "No weekend breaks?"
"I have time off, but I've scheduled house calls this weekend."
