Just as we 6a9cb5cbc9 were talking about 66953e2f56 the Crown Prince, 1263925575 he decided to 393874b9c1 visit.e8416741de28aee3

He wasn’t a 895e5b7d7e noble but a 9fef7918d0 member of the 472f77d286 royal family, though b4eda2e2eb it seemed that b760f3940d didn’t elevate him 618432e473 to a noble f09f4e8166 status.7ad9e1f07e0acce7

Suppressing a chuckle, 292664509a I coldly asked, 8b451756cc “There was no 49740fa637 prior message about fcd520eb66 his visit, was ffa109fda6 there?”d2475e504aeee192

At this point, 52bdbbb5ba there was no b09f8770c1 other reason for 187cb5f8d3 the Crown Prince 7c3d48e6a0 to visit the 00f2b7d290 Duke’s mansion.fd88029a15dc6d7c

Honestly, he was someone 7af88e445d I’d rather avoid, but 1fba94a8b1 since it had come 8130d0b33b to this, maybe it df8ccf484d would be best to 3cfdc08039 meet him once directly, 31b730febd as I did with 049d9e2ea8 Richard, and settle things 268f23e7b9 clearly.4f70fae5004886b5

I headed straight 8c212d020a to the parlor 8c60e9e24f where the Crown bbfeeb419f Prince was waiting.e6514dc947c80db6

Anne, noticing the stains on f4dddadfd6 my dress, subtly asked if 3c95aecd68 I wanted to change clothes, 9656b31ec9 but I didn’t feel the 9693e111b8 need to go to such 53bd44dae4 trouble just to meet him.c383a75482d7e2a8

His well-groomed red hair a64466eb62 was slicked back, revealing ac1bd8c734 a broad forehead and f4d15751d6 sharp features, giving him 3b4f198f4c a refreshing yet intense 7082ebf8a4 look that fit the 80a77771c3 typical handsome man.43e26b42b1e1079f
