Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 46

As soon as Miranda heard that voice, she knew exactly who it was.

The crowd parted like the Red Sea, and there strode Elian, all long legs and composed. Beside him was an elderly gentleman.

But it wasn't just Elian who had everyone whispering. The elderly gentleman walking beside him - dressed in a classic suit - was even more of a shock.

As they approached, the chatter in the room died down to a respectful hush. Anyone who'd been around long enough, or had the right connections, recognized the elderly man as the Noble General. His status was unmatched by any of the local elite.
