Thus, it was for Dad's peace of mind and sake that my kind self would ignore any hostility from the duchess on this day... It was sure to happen after all. Until today, Theressa had yet to be released from the physician's room, having no contact with anyone, seemingly continuing her incarceration at their care, and so, many rumours appeared to be spreading about it between the nobles in these pair of days. Hence, the duchess' spite, certainly aware of all of this, would surely come at myself given the opportunity before her.
'I will not fall for her taunt… yet if I get the chance…'
I was determined to be fair and clever about it all today. The event was for the crown prince and myself to enjoy… so I would still not allow the distasteful ones to ruin it.
