Chapter 275
Although she didn’t know their exact purpose, Violet was aware that Rajaden and Aileen had met not just once or twice before.
She could only guess that Rajaden had some hidden motive.
However, witnessing them conversing peacefully like this was bewildering.
“But I want to give the first dance to my partner. Is that alright?”
“Geez, I heard you danced with Sister yesterday! How about dancing with me today?”
Violet, who had been excluded from the conversation despite being present, slowly looked over the two of them.
As always, Aileen’s innocent smile was present. She naturally asked for a dance, not caring a bit about her surroundings, nor the shock she elicited. It was a lovely sight, but her attitude towards the crown prince of the empire was undeniably rude.
Aileen deserved to be reprimanded for that fact alone. However, if Rajaden took her words in stride, there would be no reason to reproach her further.
Rajaden smiled and overlooked the rudeness. Thus, Aileen could not be reproached.
His gaze then turned to Violet.
The moment she met his brightly shining golden eyes, Violet couldn’t help but let out a faint laugh.
After begging for her love, what was he doing now?
“It’s alright with me,” Violet said with a gentle smile.
At that moment, the golden eyes searched for her true intentions.
“Truly? You’re alright with it?”
Violet smiled without answering. Aileen chattered about this and that next to her, but it didn’t reach her ears.
The look Rajaden gave Aileen was kind but lacked any real human emotion.
Aileen’s answer was so cheerful that it was rather bewildering.
Rajaden didn’t rebuke Aileen at all. Violet decided to observe this ridiculous spectacle a little longer.
When Violet responded indifferently, Aileen subtly tried to provoke her with topics only she would know.
For example—
“I lost the doll I received as a gift that time. It was really, really precious to me, and I really, really wanted to find it... So, I asked for help, but the doll...”
It was like this. It was absurd to even mention childhood matters.
Violet did not react to Aileen’s provocations. She now knew well that not reacting was the best way to irritate this girl.
“Sister, does my outfit suit me today? I took to heart what you said last time and prepared accordingly...”
Although it was a question directed at Violet, the answer came from Rajaden.
“It certainly suits you. I heard the Prince of Liran was concerned, but it feels like flowers have bloomed even though it’s not spring.”
“Really?”
Violet felt a sense of incongruity in the current situation.
Even though deception and hypocrisy were rampant, a scene like this was just too much of a farce.
Whenever Aileen said something, the crown prince would respond first. Violet was thoroughly excluded from the conversation, yet ironically, she remained at the center of it.
