Chapter 269: The Not Suitable Suitor and The Suitable Suitor
Celine sitting beside Talia noted the changes in expression on Walter’s face as she observed him. Her eyes searched for him, and she noticed his eyes got attracted to Talia like a moth to a flame.
Celine could see Walter trying to swallow some hard feelings down his throat and her heart squeezed with pain.
Don’t cry, Walter... Can’t you look at me for just one moment? I was resting on your shoulders for a long time today... You aren’t even slightly moved by me? Why...?
Celine turned to look at Talia who was solely focusing on the Duke. She wanted to blame her, she wanted to hate her, but she couldn’t in the end.
After all how could she hate someone who is honest with her feelings?
The Duke gritted his teeth, glaring at Walter. "What did he say to you when he met you back at your Palace? He wants to rise up high hugging your legs. Did he try to propose to you, yet? His charms are undeniable and I won’t be surprised you are mesmerised. I worry for-"
"Thank you for your concern for my little heart. But I have records saying that there are four lane roads from Luxxenshire to Balstone. What are you going to answer about it?" Talia turned the topic back to the roads. She didn’t want the Duke to play her by changing the topic. The topic that is sensitive for her friend.
"Why should I answer you?" The Duke stood up. He wanted to bring his son out since he was refused bail, but this Princess seems like she planned it all. "Your position depends on the approval of the court. Your lineage is still disputed among-"
"I still am the Princess Royal of Rosandale!" Talia banged the table, gritting her teeth.
Who is he to talk about her lineage? Her great grandmother believes she is her daughter’s granddaughter. And that is enough for her.
Lineage is disputed? So why was I asked to be the Queen then? Idiot!
