Chapter 452 - 451. Liar (1)
I stared at Davian’s shameless face as he confidently announced that he had received news of my attendance at the tea party through Ocean.
This guy... had seriously picked up my lying skills—and now he was using them against me.
"You see," he continued smoothly, "Master Ocean was quite worried when he learned that Princess Colette would also be at the tea party you decided to attend. So, he sent me." He wore that infuriatingly pleasant smile, eyes deliberately averted from mine like a child trying to hide mischief.
I let out a long sigh.
This little... He’d only managed to learn the most useless tricks on the battlefield—and from me, no less.
"But Sir Lyall was already there," I pointed out, watching his eyes twitch slightly.
"He was," Davian admitted, licking his lips nervously before continuing, "But... well, you see... Master Ocean was still quite worried, so he asked me to come too. Just to make sure everything went smoothly and that you wouldn’t be in any kind of trouble."
He looked so serious as he said it, but did he really think that lie was going to hold?
He was lying to me—using my own name. And somehow, I didn’t feel angry. In fact, it was starting to feel more... comical.
"You’re saying that Marquis Ocean dispatched the future Grand Duke of this kingdom?" I asked, crossing my arms with a raised brow.
Davian tilted his head innocently. "Master doesn’t care about status, Princess. I respect his word—that’s why I came when he told me to. We’re friends, after all."
