Chapter 382: Strange Relationship
Since I wasn’t someone who liked to boast about my personal love life, it took Duchess Flavia a couple of probing questions to get me talking.
“Wow! I have to say that you’ve made so much progress since the last time that we had our dance lesson together. Congratulations, Mila!” The Duchess congratulated me happily when I told her that I managed to confess my love to the prince.
“Thank you so much. I doubt it that I would have had the courage back then to do something like this. It means the world to me to hear the prince say that he loves me too,” I confess to her shyly.
“This is why I envy all younger people. Always so sweet and so in love!” the duchess said teasingly as she clapped her hands together.
I could sense that she was genuinely happy for Prince Leonard and myself.
“Lady Regina and Prince Florian also have a baby on the way,” I said excitedly.
“Let’s not talk about that until the baby is born, if it even gets born...” the Duchess said darkly before letting out a laugh.
I found her reaction disturbing despite knowing that she wasn’t at all looking forward to the arrival of Prince Florian’s child and that was because she didn’t want Prince Florian to get anywhere near to sitting on the throne as the next king.
“I will pray for the safe delivery of the baby,” I told her reassuringly.
