Chapter 270
The evening banquet had officially begun. The only interest of those attending the imperial ball was one thing.
Who would be the partner of the crown prince, and who would be the partner of the ‘Lady Everett’.
The rumor that Violet S. Everett was chosen to be the future empress was just that—a rumor. However, it was a significant enough rumor that couldn’t be easily dismissed.
People wanted to see for themselves if the rumor was true.
And so, the curtain of the night that signaled the start of the eagerly awaited banquet rose.
“You’ve been gone since the afternoon, where have you been wandering?”
“Why are you picking a fight again? I didn’t just go anywhere.”
Violet, who unintentionally drew people’s attention, received a snappy reply when she asked about her younger brother’s whereabouts.
Cairn looked like he was in a particularly foul mood. Violet wondered where he had been to come back looking like that, but she decided not to provoke him further.
