Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 89

A banquet hall with elegant melodies.

The nobles standing at the edge looked at one place with curious eyes. It was the Prince who entered the banquet hall a little while ago.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Lady Maria Ethel, who was always by his side, was not there.

As his solo entrance was not enough, he even postponed responding to the delegation, and the Crown Prince simply overwhelmed the banquet hall with his sharp eyes and did not make any significant movements. As if looking for someone.

"Is he looking for the Lady of Ethel or the Princess Madeleine?"

Although it was an ambiguous statement without a subject, all the nobles understood it immediately. But no one gave an easy answer.

Neither Maria Ethel nor Olivia Madeleine were in the banquet hall yet.

Count Hodges, who was observing the movements of the nobles, sighed. A delegation from another country is here and they are gossiping.

The Count quickly approached the Prince and whispered.

"The nobles are talking about His Royal Highness's sole stance. Since a delegation from another country is also here, it would be better to at least have a chat with the delegation now."

"Has the Princess entered?"

"Yes?"

The Count's half-baked answer didn't even bother his ears. Leopold looked around with impatient eyes.

Every time he saw the hem of a dress similar to the one he gave Olivia, his stomach churned.

It was only for a moment that he was filled with anticipation, wondering if it might be Olivia. As soon as he confirmed that the silver hair was not as cold as the moonlight had poured in, his excitement seemed to plummet to the floor.

If he had known this would happen, he would have sent a servant to check Olivia's departure time.

"If you know so well, why don't you come forward yourself?"

Even during this time, his voice, once remembered, never disappeared. Everything became clear that day when he scolded Olivia as if he was annoyed.

The humid and high temperature, the noble meeting that didn't go as planned, Maria sulking over trivial things, and himself, who was irritated by it all. And...

"... No, Your Highness. I said something for no reason."

Even Olivia, lowered her head while smiling.

Leopold clenched his fists without realizing it, remembering the way her green eyes were bent as if she was hurt somewhere.

An unfamiliar feeling rose up in an instant. His mind was confused as if it were all tangled up in an indescribably unfamiliar feeling.

Leopold shook his head.

At that time, it was just because the weather was not good.

Unfortunately, on the day Olivia added her words, he was in a bad mood and that's why he got irritated...

Leopold let out a quiet sigh. Funny enough, what he was doing now was making excuses, he didn't have to worry about anyone. He was making excuses about a day that just passed by.

Why?

He felt like he was lost right before his destination.

Leopold tried to control his emotions as he was approaching the edge of a cliff. But his anxiously beating heart wavered back and forth without being able to come up with an answer.
