Yelena pressed him for a solution.

“It’s your first time, proper?”

“Sure, it’s.”

“That’s good.”

Yelena smiled, glad. Her pink eyes twinkled with a sure willpower.

“We could go inside?”

***

Solely half of Yelena’s worries have been proper.

As she had predicted, upon becoming a member of the occasion, her husband drew loads of consideration.

“That individual is none apart from the rumored…”

“No surprise he’s sporting a masks right here…”

She was additionally proper that the eye wasn’t very optimistic.

However…

“Might that be the duchess subsequent to him, by any probability?”

“The attendant positively launched them because the ducal couple, proper?”

“Oh my goodness!”

“Such a ravishing girl lived within the kingdom?”

“She’s extra lovely than Miss Jessica Averyn, who’s often known as the dominion’s flower…”

“Have a look at her hair, silver as snow. How does she care for it?”

“Oh my, her pores and skin is…”

The eye was on Yelena greater than it was on her husband. It was Yelena who turned the focal point, not her husband.

Yelena stood to the aspect of the banquet corridor and blinked, flustered.

‘Am I actually that stunning?’

She was typically instructed that she was fairly and delightful in her day by day life. She was conscious that her magnificence was above common.

However this stage of response…

‘This isn’t my first time attending a celebration both.’

She didn’t attend events typically, however Yelena did make appearances at such occasions each few months. She’d draw consideration at these occasions too, however it was by no means to this extent.

[Tsk, tsk, I can never know humans’ standard for praising looks.]

Yelena ignored the Holy Sword’s sarcastic remarks and gauged Kaywhin’s temper. She felt roughly comfy as a result of her husband wasn’t the one everybody was gossiping about.

However not like Yelena, her husband didn’t appear to be in temper.

‘Properly, he’s nonetheless garnering consideration in spite of everything, it’s simply lower than me…’

“Are you feeling very uncomfortable?” Yelena requested, involved.

“…Sure, greater than I believed I’d be.”

“Like I believed, we shouldn’t have…”

“I don’t like how so many individuals are you.”

“Hm?”

“There are too many individuals gazing you and speaking about your look.”

“…”

“I don’t really feel significantly glad about it.”

Yelena blinked.

‘Is he jealous proper now?’ Yelena thought to herself. The corners of her lips twitched.

Ah, wait. She couldn’t smile proper now. Her husband actually seemed to be in a foul temper.

‘I can’t snicker.’

Yelena, simply barely holding again her laughter, opened her mouth.

“I see. Then, lets transfer someplace the place we gained’t be seen…”

“Yelena!” a voice shouted.

With out even trying, Yelena knew whom that voice belonged to, since he wasn’t a stranger. He was household.

“Edward.”

“By no means thought I’d see you right here… Ah, Duke Mayhard. Very long time no see. How have you ever been?”

“Very long time no see, Sir Edward. I’ve been properly.”

Edward and Kaywhin shook palms. It was fairly a young sight in comparison with how they have been on the ducal fortress.

“Would you have a look at that?” Yelena chuckled on the two, as if she couldn’t imagine what she was seeing. Then, she requested, “What about Liliana and Father?”

“They aren’t right here. I’m right here on my own to signify our household.”

“Properly, I can see why Father wouldn’t be right here… However Liliana often comes to those sorts of issues, doesn’t she?”

Liliana didn’t take pleasure in events, however she valued the connections she may make at them. Thus, she diligently attended banquets, each huge and small. She often wasn’t absent from any.

“This can be a occasion hosted by the royal palace, on high of that…”

“She isn’t on the capital proper now.”

“Hm?”

“She went to the Black Tower.”

“What?” Yelena raised her voice with out realizing. Then, she remembered the place she was, and lowered it once more. “What do you imply by that? Why… did she go to the Black Tower?”

The picture of Liliana gazing at Sidrion got here to Yelena’s thoughts.

Edward shrugged.

“She should have been annoyed as a result of the evaluation of the gem powder wasn’t bearing any outcomes.”

Then, he sighed.

“She’s by no means mentioned something about it, however… I feel she nonetheless has nightmares about what occurred that day within the dressing room.”

“…Ah.”

“I really feel comfy because you look okay. You might be okay, proper?”

“Mhm, I’m okay. Don’t fear.”

Yelena lowered her eyes sadly. Her older sister was nonetheless struggling on account of that incident. She couldn’t have predicted that.

‘I ought to pay her a go to quickly.’

At that very second, a chic voice chimed in and grabbed Yelena’s consideration.

“My eyes are feasting on all the gorgeous women and men at this occasion.”
