“I should have forcibly met the Crown Prince if I knew this would happen. What is this? Waiting for a fateful encounter only to have him snatched away by some random guy.”
“Why would the person you happen to meet while strolling in the outer city be the Crown Prince? Etienne is lucky. I wandered around but never encountered him.”
“There’s still a chance. Etienne chose Fernando, right? After rejecting the Crown Prince’s request, will he look at Etienne again?”
The girls vented their frustrations. They, too, wanted to be close to the Crown Prince if they could.
But there were many obstacles. Some ladies were waiting because their parents said so due to the presence of the Second Prince, and others who boldly approached the Crown Prince ended up worse off than not knowing him at all.
That’s why approaching the Crown Prince was a delicate matter. To them, Etienne Claire seemed really lucky.
She became close to Fernando when she visited the Schubert Duchy, and then met the Crown Prince while strolling in the outer city.
“Hana, you’re friends with Etienne, right? Didn’t you hear anything?”
Someone pulled Hana into the conversation. Startled, Hana trembled and then forced a smile.
“I only know that she became close to Duke Fernando.”
“Nothing else?”
“I haven’t been able to mingle with Etienne lately. She even stopped coming to the regular tea time gatherings, so I really don’t know what’s going on with her.”
“Maybe she forgot about you because she’s hanging out with Fernando.”
“Maybe.”
Hana smiled innocently.
“Poor Hana.”
“But I have you guys.”
Hana lightly hugged her friends on either side and said,
“It should have been kind-hearted Hana who met the Crown Prince…”
A girl hugged by Hana said this pityingly, and the other girls also sympathized with Hana.
“Don’t say that. What if someone hears?”
Hana pretended to stop them, but she didn’t really deny their words. It was a typical conversation among girls to uplift someone, without much issue.
However, Hana knew that this conversation would serve as a stepping stone to enhance her image.
Then an announcement echoed through the hall.
“Duke Fernando Schubert and Lady Etienne Claire.”
At the mention of Fernando, Hana’s eyes sharpened momentarily before returning to normal.
One of her potential stepping stones was entering.
Pigment Count watched a man pacing in his study, smiling smugly.
“Today, you will see something truly rare.”
The Count Pigment lavished praise as if the reason for this banquet was to show a precious item to the man standing before him.
“It’s an item obtained with great difficulty from across the sea. I am certain that His Highness the Crown Prince will be satisfied with it. No, I will do my utmost to ensure satisfaction.”
As the Count Pigment bowed deeply, the man surveying the items in the office turned around.
His brown hair, swept back to reveal a pale forehead, framed his long eyes. A notable mole beside his eye added charm to his handsome face. However, his twisted lips revealed his harsh temperament.
The Second Prince, Rudolph Ganaye, pondered over the Count’s words and then chuckled.
“How can one be satisfied just by looking?”
He commented while turning a fist-sized ornament in his hands.
“Unless one owns it.”
He then put the ornament back down. But it was likely that tomorrow, this very ornament would find its place in the Second Prince’s room.
“Ah, I wish to offer it, but that’s…”
Count Pigment wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. The banquet was meant to be a display of the precious items he had acquired. However, the situation became complicated when both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince unexpectedly joined.
Still undecided on which side to align with, Count Pigment found it uncomfortable to face the princes, especially the Second Prince, who always managed to unsettle the timid Count.
The Second Prince was even more challenging to deal with than the Crown Prince due to his unmerciful nature. He would react fiercely to anyone who made a mistake or acted in a displeasing manner in his presence.
“That item cannot be carried around.”
“Can’t be carried? Then how did it cross the sea?”
Challenged by Rudolph’s question, Count Pigment stumbled over his words.
“Well, it was brought in a box. It’s meant only for display, as it can’t be touched… I intended to tell Your Highness that it could only be admired.”
“Is there such an item?”
“It’s said to choose its owner.”
That was why he had hosted the banquet, to boast about the item he couldn’t use…
“The more you speak of it, the more curious I become.”
Rudolph approached the door.
“I understand that if it chooses me as its owner, I can possess it.”
With those words, Rudolph left the room, leaving Count Pigment alone, exhaling a frustrated sigh. He wished the item wouldn’t choose the Second Prince.
Count Pigment heavily sighed. The banquet, intended to flaunt his new acquisition, had lost its spotlight due to the Crown Prince and Duke Schubert’s son. And now, the Second Prince coveted the item.
Count Pigment regretted hosting the banquet, feeling it might have been a mistake.
