“With me, a seat?”

Evelia replied with a tremulous face. Although the young lady introduced by her father would not have malicious intentions, she didn’t quite understand it.

Everyone in the noble house would know that Evelia Caroline was just a figurehead Crown Princess, who would be interested in her?

But that suspicion quickly crumbled.

“She’s right there.”

Edwick, who had been looking around, pointed somewhere with a brightened expression.

Evelia turned her gaze to follow her father’s, and then she saw a neatly dressed young lady standing not far away.

Seeing the truth in her father’s words, the Nolton lady smiled brightly at her as soon as their eyes met.

“If His Majesty agrees, shall I bring the young lady here?”

“Ah…….”

At her father’s affectionate proposal, Evelia let out a short exclamation. There was no reason to dislike having a new friend. It was just that it had been so long that the situation was awkward and unfamiliar.

“If it’s a young lady introduced by my father, she must be a person of excellent character. Since my father has arranged this seat for me, I would like to gladly accept.”

Evelia, after a moment’s thought, decided to consider her father’s feelings first, rather than her awkwardness. Her father, who knew her situation better than anyone, would not have taken this lightly.

“Since His Majesty says so, a father’s heart couldn’t be happier.”

Edwick looked at Evelia with the brightest face he had had so far, and then he walked toward where the Nolton lady was.

The two seemed to briefly exchange greetings and quickly approached Evelia.

“Crown Princess Your Highness, greetings for the first time. I am Diana Nolton, the daughter of Count Nolton.”

“Nice to meet you, Lady Nolton. It’s a great pleasure to exchange greetings at such a meaningful place.”

Evelia responded with a casual smile and offered a handshake to Diana, who was very pleased and clasped her hand.

“I’m so honored to meet you, Your Highness.”

“I feel the same way. From what I heard from my father, you really wanted a seat with me…….”

Evelia, who had been speaking fluently, suddenly stopped and looked behind Diana.

Her eyes met with someone unpleasant, and her body stiffened out of habit.

“Your Highness?”

Sensing something unusual, Diana cautiously questioned Evelia. Nevertheless, Evelia, who had no answer, continued to look at her with a confused face after a while.

“I heard from my father that Lady Nolton really wanted a seat with me.”
“Yes, that’s right. I would be overjoyed to have even a brief conversation with Your Highness, so I asked our father to request it to the Duke.”

“I want to talk leisurely since you wanted to meet me so much, but what shall I do about this?”

“What? I don’t understand what you’re saying…….”

“I think we should wrap things up for today. Instead, I would like to invite Your Grace to the crown princess’s palace soon, would that be alright?”

“The, the crown princess’s palace? Of course! I’m so pleased, Your Highness!”

At the unexpected proposal, Diana nodded her head with a flushed face. Evelia watched such Diana and hurriedly tidied up the place, showing a smile out of politeness once.

“I’ll send an invitation to the Earl of Nolton soon. Please enjoy the rest of the party as well.”

Evelia left formal words to Diana and quickly moved her legs. She was bothered that she couldn’t properly greet her father, but what was more urgent was Rellia approaching her.

Seeing the expression on her rapidly approaching face, it seemed she was very upset. A psychological battle was inevitable.

She couldn’t show that to her father.

Evelia quickly moved to a spot as far away from her father as possible.
