"Did your highness like it? I thought the platinum would suit him well."

"Yes, it did indeed look good on him."

"If I knew you were going to visit your highness, I would have accompanied you. Why didn't you tell me?"

The Duke laughed at her sulky expression.

They always say that it's useless to try and raise children in your image, but he never expected Lilyan to be like this.

"Are you angry with your father?"

He put a sad expression on his face. Lilyan was startled by this and hugged him.

"Not at all. It's just that it's been a long time since I haven't seen your highness. Also, I was wondering if the watch suited him or not."

Seeing his daughter's smile melted his heart, and he was no longer sad.

"I have brought back good news."

Lilyan's eyes widened and her face was full of expectations.

"It seems like your highness is finally ready to choose a crown princess."

"Really?"

When the Duke nodded, Lilyan covered her blushing cheeks with her hands.

"Then, am I going to become the crown princess?"

He had already told Lilyan about the arrangement.

"Of course, dear. After all, it has been your dream since you were a child."

"Thank you, Dad. I love you."

The Duke smiled as Lilyan happily hugged him.

'Lilyan must become the crown princess.'

The Duke's eyes had changed from gentle to fierce.

"Make our engagement public."

"Are you sure?" Seth asked nervously at Edwin's order.

"Since we can't hide it forever, it's better if we announce it as soon as possible."

"I wonder how the royal family will react."

"I'm sure they'll be upset about it and wonder what's going on." Edwin laughed while propping his legs on the footrest under the sofa.

"The Raven's surveillance will strengthen."

"Don't you think that it will be fun? The exciting part of hunting isn't when you catch the prey but the actual hunting."

He loved watching prey unknowingly walk towards the trap he had set beforehand.

He found pleasure in watching the reaction of the prey when it discovers that it has fallen into a trap.

"How fun will this hunt be?"

Edwin was getting excited.

"I'll prepare both the engagement announcement and arrangements for a new hunt."

Edwin nodded.

"Uhmm... That day is approaching. Will you be okay?"

After hearing that cautious question, the smile disappeared from Edwin's face.

He took off the necklace that was hidden beneath his clothes. It was something he took great care of.

Inside the bottle, hanging from a platinum chain, were black pieces that depending on the angle, became iridescent.
