Could it be?
Roens face turned pale as he guessed why Violet was upset. Cairn interjected.
Are you saying Aileen is the Liran princes attendant?
Cairn, who usually kept a casual tone, hesitated first and then spoke, his expression uneasy under Roens gaze. It was as grim as Violets.
It seems likely. Hasnt the Everett estate sent any news?
No, there hasnt been any. If we had known, we would have dealt with it earlier.
Even Father only found out last night. Since we couldnt ignore the Liran prince, we sent an invitation, but the fact that I wasnt informed first of such news
Its such a mess that the country was all shaken up.
Roen clenched his fists, and Rajaden gave him a glance. Go after her. Understanding the look, Roen nodded and excused himself.
This being an international situation is not good at all.
Cairn hung his head at Rajadens clucking tongue.
Now left alone with the empires crown prince, Cairn, the third son of the Everett family, snuck a glance at Rajaden and prepared to make his exit.Upstodatee from

The man had a very gentle demeanor. Violet, who initially thought he might be a snake like Roen, looked at him with suspicion.
If he was someone important enough to be invited to the imperial hunting competition, Violet should have known him, but she didnt recognize the man before her.
Indeed, I had high expectations for the land blessed by the Sun God, and it is indeed magnificent.
If its not too much trouble, may I ask for your introduction?
I apologize. I have no grand titles in this country. Please, call me Vaughn.
Are you from another country?
Thats okay. The customs here are quite different from Liran.
Instead of explaining why he was here, Ban offered another answer. Violet, not expecting a straightforward response, met Vaughns gaze.
Ill ask directly. What brings you here?
Hmm. Lets say its a study tour or educational visit.
And your reason for being with Aileen Everett?
She knows this country well. I asked her to be my guide.
It sounded plausible but didnt quite fit. Why would a prince from another country bring along someone from the Everett family?
House Everett, a ducal house in the empire, held power comparable to the kings of smaller nations.
Violet slightly furrowed her brow. Did Duke Everett know about this?
Vaughn chuckled upon seeing her expression.
Fortunate, I must say, to see a unique soul like yours. I didnt expect that.
What do you mean?
Just as I said. You have quite unusual eyes. Patched up as they are, its hard for a soul once shattered to regain its original form. A sign usually only visible to those who have returned from death.
This is not Liran.
Oh, was I rude? My apologies.
Violet understood only half of what Vaughn said. She retorted sharply, yet he smiled calmly.
He was even more unpleasant than Roen.
I was curious what made her so obsessed. But seeing a soul that still shines even when fragmented, its no wonder that place is coveted.
