Julian was walking through the main corridor of the castle when he saw two women talking among themselves. He immediately recognized them: Vanessa and Olivia.
Olivia was clad in her usual tempting yet commanding dress - a deep emerald gown that hugged her mature curves perfectly. Vanessa, beside her, looked more striking than usual in an elegant lavender dress that flowed gracefully around her figure.
They were talking about something between themselves, and their expressions suggested it was something good. Julian approached them, and they immediately noticed his presence. Their faces brightened. Vanessa rushed to him and took his hand in both of hers.
"Brother, you are here!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine excitement.
Olivia, however, could not meet his gaze. She looked at him once, then quickly averted her eyes, a faint blush creeping up her neck.
