The Crown Prince wanted her to misunderstand but she knew that she had to act dumb and confused for the time being. "Are you talking about Duke Beaumont?" Princess Eleanor's voice trembled as she tried to maintain the volume.

I only have to convince her and half of my work will be done. After all, I have already paved the path for House Beaumont's destruction.'

Crown Prince Richard nodded his head as he looked at Princess Eleanor, "Well, yes. I know that I should not say this here. We are still at Beaumont mansion, but I cannot help it. The Princess wants a reason to accept and I wish to give her that."
