It’s King Alexander……”
The moment that Fei recognized Louise, she had also recognized Fei as well. An undetectable shyness and slyness flashed on her face. She and her friends quickly surrounded Fei.
Soon, the citizens of Chambord discovered something very interesting.
As if they found a new favourite toy, more and more mischievous kids formed a circle on the small square.
