"You are before the royal prince. Pay your respect." Haren says.
You just stare at the squire before slowly standing up, one hand holding Casper the other supporting Aristia.
"Forgive us." You apologize.
"Greeting future sun of the..." The two of you were greeting before the doll slip out from Aristia's hands.
↠━━━━ღ◆ღ━━━━↞
"Ah- Oh no!!" Aristia exclaims in shock as the doll almost fall to the ground her hands swiftly grabbing it.
You could only look at her before secretly glancing towards the crown prince's direction in case he decided to get angry for no reason again. You could see Haren glancing at the crown prince as well afraid of what he might say.
"P-please forgive me. I've shown such disgrace" Aristia quickly bows down and apologize. You on the other hand didn't do anything but stare at the crown prince blankly.
The crown prince stares back but his eyes darts around both you and Aristia. The two of you didn't know, Aristia because she was very young back then and you because you haven't have full access of the original [Y/N]'s memories. But the both of you have met the crown prince before similar to right now.
As the crown prince look at Aristia, he could see the younger her holding a similar doll bowing at the crown prince. Of course she was much taller now but her elegance and grace remains. While when he looks at you he sees the same protective stare, but back then you were holding an identical doll to Aristia's instead of a puppy.
"Where is Marquess Keiran? He wasn't inside." The crown prince asks.
Plucking up the courage Aristia was the one who answer him, "Th-there was an accident during training, so he went to check..."
"Then, I'll wait for him since I'm already here." The crown prince tells the two of you shocking not only Aristia but Haren as well. You couldn't even try to be shocked that was how much you hated the past him. Yes he was manipulated, but honestly it doesn't justify him from what he did. He technically raped Aristia in her past life, sleeping with her toying her feelings, and when she gets pregnant and Jieun gets shocked he went to her instead of Aristia, the one who was pregnant.
The four of you was now in the office of the marquess, the room was pretty big for an office, it was like CEO size but who are you to tell what a CEO office looks like. The sitting area which you believe was for visitors and nobles that visits him. The couches were fancy, it was a blue and white theme, the colors that represent the house of Monique.
There were two 3-person sit couch facing each other, there was a coffee table in the middle. On the two side were 1-person chair with the same designs beside the chairs were smaller table as the coffee table were quite far for the 1-person chairs too reach.
You were sitting on one of the 3-person couch and Aristia was sitting right opposite of you. The crown prince sat on the 1-person chair which was on the left side of Aristia. Haren standing at the right behind him. The atmosphere was awkward, but you could handle it. After all you have Casper with you it ain't gonna be the same for Aristia.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick Tock...
As the clock sound continues the atmosphere stays the same, it was silence but awkward. Although it wasn't exactly super silence, you could still hear the sound of your breathing.
