Just as we were talking 690a82973a about the Crown Prince, he 729f119f57 decided to visit.214dc00fd6810fc4

He wasn’t a noble but 23958bb9bb a member of the royal f5de1a5807 family, though it seemed that 5eda18fcf1 didn’t elevate him to a bf3b9a8e86 noble status.b6096649fa8eb476

Suppressing a chuckle, I 514b312458 coldly asked, “There was 0bb611ca65 no prior message about 4306e34633 his visit, was there?”eb5593aaf68519ef

Seeing Anne nod, de265cb8e9 I swallowed a 3d02e92604 sigh and looked 274c2bb5fc away.5db33f1a1024c058

Honestly, he was 5663b39b88 someone I’d rather 5550e3b064 avoid, but since 446d7f441d it had come b957ce3ac2 to this, maybe e3e08aa45e it would be 5267892442 best to meet a961e3bd16 him once directly, 46b389cfba as I did 296cd9d3cf with Richard, and 015edbee20 settle things clearly.004fc970f55467ac

After all, it 8336ff1472 was obvious that adc44f198a he wanted to d91c830a33 see me because 479b28c88e Melissa had rejected b142874581 his marriage proposal.613952add720ea54

She must feel d9e5e32d1b uncomfortable meeting the 91f4a05b70 Crown Prince herself, 2ce1ddf620 but it seemed 94876bd768 she was willing 4602deeb30 to put up c57936174a with it to 9f0268b1b6 keep me from 6963873f32 being troubled.e17ef351d9d3f7fe

I headed straight to f4bc700a37 the parlor where the e80e90532a Crown Prince was waiting.6c3eb10e2474b714

Anne, noticing the ba325b720e stains on my d5fdf8020f dress, subtly asked 6a8bc0d581 if I wanted 9e7a02968c to change clothes, b9cc8adff0 but I didn’t 4f9e3ea630 feel the need d1cff4cc05 to go to be9b3262b9 such trouble just 9251c1d80b to meet him.4b03c123aaf1eaf2

I did briefly consider 4aab0c349a making him wait, as 0970a321d6 he had come without 95f395abab any prior notice, but 5d7b17dca9 my desire to meet 56e64d5967 him as soon as 5c5a519a2b possible and get him 433240f2f9 out of the mansion a43adafe9b was stronger.ece4052c6145c330

So I entered d7a9af4543 the parlor without bc04a32333 hesitation, but I 52e632cfde regretted my choice 0d5c7c9442 the moment I ebd0816f02 stepped inside.b9c69e5c28151fc4

Crown Prince Kaiden 36d71e0696 Elios, renowned as 62fc971026 a war hero, 65214abef7 had a strong 420d79aad1 and solid physique 0e58d1b4fb that complemented his a105c2219d reputation. His well-groomed red hair 1d6b529249 was slicked back, revealing 8ca289461d a broad forehead and f7e31fa40d sharp features, giving him 057290e60c a refreshing yet intense 98c44b6a13 look that fit the 81a69009f9 typical handsome man.7948d8cc4520f4dc
