Chapter 225
The man held onto two cups and asked for her attention with a calm tone.
It was solely after her body’s spirit changed that he pondered over the result of his unplanned action.
’... She was indeed upset...’ — He considered.
The woman in front of him was a curious one.
Just like himself, her expression lacked change in humour, nonetheless, he could notice that it was something she apparently had no freedom over... Unlike himself who excelled in controlling his temperament and had a pacific character, although severe.
Her aura conveyed her change of mood at the information he previously gave without much contemplation at the arrival of the tasteful drink.
’Interesting.’
Clemente was uptight in his compromises. And as he had agreed with the Lady, he assisted this Ball to toast in her honour.
Hiding the truth from the Princess and his Father, the Young man only intended to be thoughtful towards the woman as other ears roamed their surroundings.
’Rumours would cause us trouble... People have a liking for hearsay these days.’ — Clemente had deemed the moment he foresaw an inquiry over the reason for his presence could be asked.
He had departed from the concerned woman’s side to get the necessary item to honour the compromise that brought him here today. A compromise he impulsively offered days ago as his uptight character wished to show respect to the woman he felt he had been rude to twice.
"I believe it is due that a toast in your honour is to be done, Lady Marianne." — Clemente told the woman who intensely observed the cups in his hands.
