I Fell for the Temptation of the Evil Crown Prince Chapter 65

Seeing Rowena's changed appearance, Theo looked up at her. This was the first time he had seen his younger sister after what had happened.

She looked bright and healthy. She didn't even seem to be persecuted by the crown prince.

Then it's done.

She looked beautiful standing next to the crown prince in her colorful dress.

Rowena was as beautiful as she was at this moment because she was so happy and free.

The nobles bowed to the crown prince and his fiancée in unison. Matthias looked dissatisfied with the fact that he had to bow to Rowena or something, but when Paul's fierce face and eyes met his, he reluctantly lowered his head.

Cecil led Rowena to the top seat and sat down. Rowena sat beside Cecil and looked at the nobles who were still bowed.

There was only a melody of quiet music flowing through the hall.

Cecil was silent without asking them to raise their heads quickly. Then slowly, he opened his mouth.

“…look up.”

“I'm so honored, Your Grace.”

The leader of the pro-emperor faction raised his head in a gentle voice. At that time, they straightened up one by one and looked at the crown prince and the crown princess couple.

There was an implicit rule that there was an order to raise the head and that one must not raise the head before those of higher rank than him. It was Count Adelia who was 'relatively' free from this rule.

It was a family that would be the in-laws of the Imperial family in the future.

They were able to straighten up after the dukes had all raised their heads.

Paul looked at the other nobles slowly raising their heads, trimming their crumpled robes. The Adelia family had the lowest status in this place by title alone, but its position changed due to Rowena's presence.

He felt somewhat flattered despite his distant relationship with Rowena.

Matthias felt the same way. The nobles here were all men who cared not to speak to them or ask for their opinion.

He had been to many banquets and parties with Paul, but they were always in a situation where they couldn't even greet them properly. But now, when they spoke, they answered them with a reluctant face.

It will change soon.

Matthias looked in the direction of Rowena and the crown prince with blazing eyes. Rowena was giving great importance to the family right now, but she was going to pull that out and make him lie at his feet.

Matthias was prepared to do anything for it.

Although it was the crown prince's engagement, the two most important people moderately wrapped up the ceremony and left. A quiet banquet was to be held at the end of the engagement.

This was also an event that considered the emperor's illness.

The major nobles gathered in twos and threes and whispered about the emperor's illness and how serious his condition was.

What they wanted to say was, “how long can the emperor live?” They did not dare to speak about the emperor's death at the palace.

Paul, Count of Adelia, was in the presence of four dukes and wondered who to speak to. For his business, he needed to talk to Duke Hilstein, the Grand Duke of the South, but he couldn't dare.

In addition, a young nobleman attached to the crown prince was monitoring Paul and Matthias' actions. On the surface, it seemed to be a role of a secretary, but the surveillance was clear.

He was arrogant from the first time he greeted them, and his title was marquis.

What the hell is up with this arrogant guy?

It seemed to be one of the crown prince's closest aides. But Paul was already a prospective father-in-law of the crown prince, so he was in a position above this young and arrogant fellow.

But this guy kept looking at him contemptuously.

Matthias was also uncomfortable and tried to avoid the young marquis, but he kept his mouth shut.

Theo was silent. He knew the young marquis. It wasn't that they were close friends, but he had heard about him from vague rumors.

He had a sister who had not yet made her debut, and there was a rumor that she was almost in trouble.

If it was the crown prince, he would have put him as a watch on purpose.

Perhaps the kind who abhorred violence against women. Theo was silent because he had nothing to say about him.

Only Louis looked at Rowena, who was away, with regret.

That day.

He hadn't gone back to the palace since he was told that he could come into the palace and live there.

It wasn't that Paul had changed his mind, but that it was Paul's shallow tactics to guilt-trip Rowena for a while.

Louis had intended to refuse Rowena's request anyway, but the days were very disappointing.

But it's not like I'll always be able to meet you…

Since Paul's greed could not disappear, he thought it was better to go back to the Imperial Palace again.

He felt confused.
