When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 34
“What aspect do you think we’d be compatible in?”
“You seem similar in your love for freedom. I thought you might form a very good relationship—each pursuing what you desire freely and comfortably, without constraint.”
“Freedom, you say… That sounds more suited to your nephew. Ah, but unless it’s a casual affair, it wouldn’t work anyway—he already has a fiancée.”
Alessandro’s lips twitched slightly upward. He was smiling, yet it felt as though he were suppressing something.
“Haha, you still have no talent for jokes.”
“I don’t make jokes.”
Enrico murmured indifferently, releasing the hand he’d been holding and wrapping his arm around her shoulder again. Since this position was preferable to the uncomfortable one just moments before, Emilia glanced briefly at Enrico before fixing her gaze straight ahead.
Alessandro’s pale violet eyes somehow looked dull. Perhaps it was the shadow cast by his mask. Emilia tilted her head slightly, noticing that Alessandro seemed different from the kind man she’d seen not long ago.
Were they on worse terms than she’d thought? Though they addressed each other formally as “my uncle” and “my nephew,” the atmosphere between them didn’t seem particularly warm. It wasn’t really her concern, but since it was happening right before her eyes, she found herself observing them closely.
“The wine is too sweet. By the way, why are you a princess of the Carnet Kingdom?”
Enrico instructed a servant to bring him a non-alcoholic drink, then picked up a wine glass from the tray. After slowly sipping the white wine, he frowned slightly as if displeased and spoke.
“…It seems that in this era, nations must unite to move forward.”
“Ah, unity—what a fine-sounding pretext.”
A servant quickly returned with a fresh drink and offered it to Enrico. Enrico handed the glass to Emilia and let out a hollow-sounding exclamation.
“But isn’t Carnet Kingdom the place where trains were first developed?”
