Rather, his gaze had become even more serene as it focused on Evelia.
“I hope that you will be the most brilliant person at today’s party.”
“So why…!”
Evelia’s eyes, which habitually contradicted his words, suddenly enlarged like a lantern.
“I want everyone’s attention. I mean, you, beautiful, standing by my side.”
“…….”
“And I want everyone to know that you, like the empire’s one and only necklace, are the empire’s one and only crown princess.”
The empire’s one and only necklace. And the empire’s one and only crown princess.
Evelia blinked slowly, mulling over Liurian’s words. The rapid flow of thoughts completely stopped, replaced by the strong thumping of her heart.
Thump thump thump thump.
She heard nothing else. Only the resounding assurance began to flow through her veins.
So his words, his sudden invitation to go to the banquet together, was to solidify her status?
Evelia clutched the fabric over her chest. She could feel her pulsating heartbeat between her fingers.
If that was true, there was no room for doubt. In retrospect, it was true. If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t have invited her to the party so abruptly.
To the crown prince, with the powerful support of the empress, the status of the crown princess was a matter of no concern.
Evelia looked at Liurian with trembling eyes. At this point, she couldn’t deny it.
Her husband had changed. She didn’t know the reason, but it was clear he was a very different person than before.
“I want to know why you’re suddenly doing this.”
“…….”
“I know that you’ve changed a lot from before. So please tell me.”
“…….”
“About what caused this sudden change.”
Her eyes, which had been dimmed, were now revealed between her slightly opened eyelids. They were clean enough to have to search for any impurity.
That alone brought her heart one big step closer, and he could see it.
That she understood and accepted his reckless choice was also conveyed through her eyes.
“I know you have many questions to ask me. But it doesn’t seem like a conversation to have before a party, what do you think?”
“Will you tell me if I wait?”
“Of course.”
“…….”
“As much as you want.”
He gladly gave Evelia the answer she wanted. If she wanted, he could have put off such a victory party and talked to her right then and there.
But a decision led by emotion was always nothing more than a fast ship heading to the worst conclusion.
So she had to endure. Until Evelia was ready to hear all of her story.
“I’ll wait.”
“…….”
“Until Your Highness tells me.”
Just then, Evelia’s deep voice was heard. It was a word that could not be more welcome.
Liurian quickly lifted a smile. And then he properly held her hand.
“Shall we go in then?”
A soft whisper warmly wrapped around Evelia’s ear.
Evelia turned her head and looked straight ahead. The door to the banquet hall, which looked especially magnificent today, was right in front of her.
A tension she had momentarily forgotten came rushing back fiercely. But it was not utterly terrifying.
It was because of Liurian’s hand she was holding.
Evelia took a deep breath and nodded her head. At the same time, Liurian gestured to the doorkeeper.
At the crown prince’s command, the doors to the banquet hall opened without delay. Then, bright light began to pour into the once dark corridor.
Through it, the clamorous conversation and the elegant orchestra’s performance mixed and poured out. But what resonated most boisterously in the hall was the voice announcing the entry of the crown prince and his wife.
“His Highness the Crown Prince and Her Highness the Crown Princess are entering!”
With the resounding announcement, the nobles’ gaze was drawn instantly to the entrance of the banquet hall.
The sight of the crown prince and princess standing side by side.
Everyone seemed startled at this incongruent picture, but soon they began to gather at the entrance one by one. And they sent applause, welcoming the arrival of the crown prince and princess.
Evelia felt her already tense neck stiffen further. But pretending otherwise, she lifted her chin and strode forward.
Today, she wanted to attend the party as the empress of the empire, not just a figurehead.
For Liurian’s effort to make her the most shining person in this place, at least.
