A Painting of the Villainess as a Young Lady

“Did you have a good time the other day? I heard ‘Crimson Tragedy’ is quite entertaining. It’s the talk of the town.”

“Of course not. I just heard some rumors about it. Since it’s considered a masterpiece, I thought I might take some time to watch it myself.”

During today’s session of painting the crown prince’s portrait, Rajaden was being particularly moody. He kept his taut smile fixed on Violet.

Though it wasn’t enough to disrupt her painting, his continuous moodiness led Violet to neatly organize her sketches and put down her pencil. She didn’t hesitate to sigh in front of the crown prince.

“Despite being an adaptation based on historical facts, It was enjoyable to watch. The lead actors were quite memorable.”

Of course, that was a lie. Violet didn’t really enjoy the play.

“In what way?”

“The actress was beautiful.”
