The crowd watched, spellbound, as the two people on stage danced with the grace of a painting.
However, Princess Yuriana, watching from her seat of honor, let out a soft laugh.
“Your Highness, how could Sir Raymond betray us?”
The ladies-in-waiting were incensed, and seeing Yuriana laugh made them feel like they would burst.
“Your Highness, how can you be laughing? You’re truly too kind for your own good.”
“After all the consideration Your Highness has shown him, for him to betray you! I never knew Sir Raymond could be so disloyal!”
The ladies-in-waiting condemned Sir Raymond in unison.
However, Cecil, her voice on the verge of tears, defended him.
“I’m sure Miss Grace seduced Sir Raymond like a vixen!”
Princess Yuriana remained unmoved by her words.
Because she knew exactly why Sir Raymond was acting this way.
‘So childish.’
But it was also kind of cute…
Yuriana watched Sir Raymond, the corners of her lips turning up.
At first, she had been angry too.
She thought the favor she had shown Sir Raymond had been returned with betrayal.
But upon further reflection, she realized that wasn't the case.
It was in the same vein as when Sir Raymond had gone out of his way to praise other men at the tea party.
‘He’s trying to make me jealous…’
Just as she had used a ploy to make him jealous of Lute.
But Sir Raymond seemed to be a greater master of this game than she was.
‘I mustn’t be swayed.’
Yuriana scoffed inwardly, yet she couldn't take her eyes off Sir Raymond.
