I removed the dress the moment I entered my room, cursing as I did. I still couldn't believe what happened. I didn't see Lance after that and I didn't have the intention to find him and punch him in the face. As much as I want to, I didn't have the luxury of time. I admit that was the best idea at that moment. Even as Ares told them an entirely different person, I couldn't be too sure there are no bounty hunters around who did not know what I look like. So the kiss was necessary. And a hug too. A hug would have sufficed!
I didn't look at where Ares was and just stormed out of the Hall. I went to the laundry room, avoiding the servants, and went straight to my room.
I removed the pins one by one from my hair and went straight to the bathroom to wash my face. I don't have time to brood ove
