No matter how beautiful Your Highness the Crown Prince is, there are things you can and cant do. I dont know what you did, but you do have a clear understanding of that, right?

I know.

Huh, I guess thats why youve decided not to see her for a while.

The sound of the pen moving never stopped. So he dared to nag him.

If you havent apologized, would you like me to arrange something for you?

Your future wife will hate you.

Oliver.

Whoop Oliver held his tongue.

Arnold flipped through the papers and told him matter-of-factly.

Thats why I did it.

He instinctively wanted to sigh, but held himself back.

Well, I didnt mean to be impertinent.

Quite. First of all, youre mistaken.

After saying that, Arnold dropped his eyes again. No emotion could be seen from his expression.

Shes the woman I forced to marry and take as my wife in the first place.

That doesnt mean she hated you from the very beginning, though.

After all, Oliver knew.

He knew that Arnolt tried to honor that girl he brought from another country as best he could.

I know you care for her.

He has never seen his sovereign lord wrack his brains for a single person.

When Rishe was involved, Arnold had a soft expression on his face that even Oliver, with whom he spent his youth, has never known.

There has never yet been a precedent for you to entrust your own knight guard to someone else. Youve even escorted the lady to an evening party, and danced with her for the opening dance of special significance.

Feeling dumbfounded, Oliver shook his head, good grief.

Eating her food without a poison tester. That doesnt sound like you, doing something unconscionable, for the purpose of being hated. If I were you, Id carry out more efficient means

He swallowed those words and let out a loud sigh.

Arnold clicked his tongue, but instead he smiled at him.

I know, I wont say anything more than that. I am your servant.

Olivers idea of a servants role was to accomplish what his lord wanted.

So, nothing was to be done now. Until the day he gave him a second order.

By the way, Your Highness, be that as it may, I think a proper apology would be in order.

Its about time you really get out of here.

That wasnt going to happen.

After all, there was still a lot of work to be done for the day.
