Chapter 224
’... Not even feigning anymore, huh?’ — The foreigner thought at the Duchess’s actions.
"..."
"Good evening, Duke Sylfinnier." — The Princess who noticed the Ducal couple, joined, leaving the nobles greeting her behind.
"Good Evening, Your Highness."
"Greetings, Princess, it is delightful to see you once more." — The Duchess eagerly added in composed behaviour.
"Indeed. It is a joyful occasion. Different to past events I have assisted."
"Oh, surely it is."
"... Your Grace." — Agreeing with a light movement of her head, the Princess turned back to Marianne’s Father. — "We have not met lately and I believe it is due that I give my appreciation to your previous advice."
"... That is a curious thing you say, Princess. I do not recall offering advice to you..." — Orland answered, pondering on the advice she mentioned.
"I believe His Grace’s words were: ’Observe her behaviour and restate your thoughts once the ’charm’ his Excellency took a fondness of, is made clear in your eyes’... I happen to have noticed said charm. I thank your words back then."
’... Bruh... Why does it not feel like you appreciate it??? You are too blunt gurl~ I know you mean it, but intonation is important~’ — The Lady commented at how serious a tone the Princess used.
"Oh, that is what you meant. The Princess is too kind. After all, I admit that I spoke slightly moved by a Father’s displeasure." — The honest yet admirable Duke conveyed, standing tall without regretting his previous ways.
