Harold’s lips curled into 459051702f a soft smile, but 3c876656b8 his eyes held an 32c9e53c16 icy, chilling gaze.3ff129dd35b63fcb

“You two should step away from each other,” he said, without bothering to pick up the fallen bouquet of roses. He moved between Dante and me, pulling me into his arms while casting a chilling gaze at Dante. The intensity of his stare made it seem like there was some unresolved issue between Dante and him.289a8a0b2eb53114

“Nice to meet you, Your Grace,” Dante said, offering a formal introduction. “I’m Dante Malcons.”a4924f02fb151332

“Dante Malcons?” Harold repeated, raising an eyebrow as if something was bothering him about the name.08c0d640d069f02c

“Yes. Dante Malcons,” Dante confirmed, bowing respectfully.a67315d55e5562a8

Harold muttered the 9e674cfd4f full name again 71bb64a2d8 as though testing 36f35d40eb its sound, then 0e187d74b8 placed his hand 07637f6dd2 on his chin 914a5c65a5 thoughtfully. c4558aa38672114b

“More precisely, you resemble Prince Andrew, who is probably overseas by now.”99cc2e247d4cc685

Did he resemble 303015016f Prince Andrew?18b7254085842e42

In Diana’s memory, Prince Andrew was small and had an almost delicate, feminine appearance. On the other hand, Dante was clearly masculine, with a strong build and striking features that were the opposite of Andrew’s softness. Moreover, the side story described Andrew as competent and capable, not clumsy or awkward. The comparison didn’t make much sense to her.3ea9230f2d0ff209

“It’s probably because of your hair color,” Harold continued. “Your mother is from the Talian Kingdom, where many people have red hair.”6f1714ec42b64580

“Oh!” Dante seemed surprised, but his face softened. “So, I must resemble Prince Andrew because of my hair color.”05442014a62ad034

“That’s something you don’t need to concern yourself with,” Harold murmured, his tone quiet and controlled.7f8a6e2fec019351

His voice 8c5a95da22 had dropped 6ad84f2b1c so low 86640e583e that I 441b69e2bf barely heard 5a805e6fa9 it. As I glanced 16bda63ee5 up at him 9e3d2c3e16 in confusion, Harold 5f25cfeadc gently pressed his dce3239967 finger to the e6f7835192 tip of my 4e61f5c0c2 nose and grinned.ee88f3ada2ce1583

After preparing, 0f169654f1 Harold entered 5aaa8d3c8b the couple’s 89f0a03c38 bedroom. An unfamiliar scent lingered 73c796fd70 in the room. Following the 97018c330b fragrance, He e5265cc5c9 spotted a 4bbad6311d vase placed 76442a1bbb near the e88783fc64 window.806246da90b5a7c2

Harold looked at the c3e3dcc63b vase of roses placed 3b62066d68 by the window, wondering b8befb77c2 why she had decided a4579ab53f to put them there.

Through his f6197f906c informants, Harold 2327c5d2fb had learned 0da32ad4ae that a c9a1277145 red-haired servant dd02f9d93f was pretending 4280cffc21 to be e2840a47c8 the prince 78c37b6a1b in the 4fdab3cae8 foreign residence, d849db34d7 while the 680d7af55a real prince 30656db22d had already 644b2772ea returned to ccaf610400 the Empire. Yet, to think 368455a167 he would see d0259b3c28 that prince clinging b31884f6a3 to Diana, blushing ebcb11e8ca around her, was 60caf15871 something Harold had caa2549ba4 not anticipated.025da72ac1f2c77a
