After some time. 

Mr. William at last seemed like he was ready to talk again.

He did look discomfited by what he had done though. 

“I'm sorry. I'm not the type of person to cry so much…”

“Don't mention it.”

I shook my head. 

I completely understood how sad and difficult it must have been until now. 

Knock, knock. 

A knock interrupted our exchange. 

'Is it a maid bringing refreshments?'

I calmly opened my mouth. 

“Come in.”

The door snapped open. 

A man strode into the room. 

The person who appeared with a tray with tea and refreshments on it….

“Wow, your Highness, the Crown Prince?!”

It was Damian!

No, what's Damian doing here? 

Upon hearing his title, 'Your Highness, the Crown Prince,' Mr. William raised his head in amazement.' 

“I see you, your Highness!”

“Oh, sit down. It's all right.”

Damian quickly gestured with his chin for Mr.William to remain seated. 

Meanwhile. 

Damian, with a puzzled expression, alternated his gaze between me and Mr. William. 

“Charlize.”

Damian placed the tray on the table, fixing his gaze on me with a now straight-faced expression. 

He's looking at me so seriously….

“Don't tell me you made him cry…” 

“How could I, what does his Highness take me for…”

No, does his Highness think I'm that kind of person? 

I raised my voice, angry at him. 

At the same time, an unnerving silence descended upon the room's atmosphere.

Oops. 

I gently bit the soft inner part of my cheek. 

Before I knew it, Mr. William was staring my way with his eyes wide open. 

Oh, no!

I spoke as gently as possible. 

“I'm sorry, I've been rude to you despite that you're a guest.”

“Oh, not at all. It's all right.”

Fortunately, Mr. William responded in such a way, albeit with a surprised face. 

I squinted my eyes and stared at Damian. 

“Your Highness, what are you doing here?”

“I heard that my one and only fiancee is receiving the representative of the bereaved families, of course, I should be with her, no?”

Huh, normally I would have been touched by those words but…

'You've made me lose face. What's the point of talking about this nonsense?!'

That's all I felt at the moment.  

But right then. 

Damian looked at me with his shimmering eyes. 

“Say, Lize. Aren't I admirable?”

Hey, did he really say that just now? 

I wanted to shoot back at him, but a quick glance at Mr. William made me quickly control myself. 

I don't want to lose any more face!

I coughed a couple of times to clear my throat before speaking. 

“The reason why we have Mr. William here today is what I briefly said earlier…”

While we were speaking, I unknowingly narrowed my eyebrows slightly. 

It was because Damian's hand was gradually sliding over mine. 

No, why is he doing this sort of stuff? 

Turning everything upside down!

I withdrew my hand coldly.

In vain, Damian held nothing but thin air.  

Heh, is that my concern?

Turning away from Damian, I smiled at Mr. William. 

“As the organizer of the memorial service, I want to express my gratitude to the bereaved families.”

“Huh, your gratitude? What did we do…”

“To protect the stability of the empire, you sent your precious family members.”

I spoke with a soft voice. 

“It's likely the whole empire is indebted to you.”

“….thank you.”

“Also, I'd like to make some suggestions.”

“I, you have some suggestions?”

Mr. William had a confused expression. 

Looking at him, I nodded repeatedly.

“Yes. It's about the memorial.”
