Prospective spouse?
Rosalind felt her soul leave her body. What was he talking about? By now, the engagement hadn't been finalized yet! The only ones who knew about them being together that night were the women who accompanied Victoria.
Obviously, those women spread the news, but no one even thought about an engagement!
She glared at him. What was his purpose?
"Prospective spouse?" Prince Lawrence scoffed. "It seems that the Duke is still uninformed about the protocol in the Empire— Miss Lux is—"
"My fiance. Thank you, my Prince. I am very well aware of that fact. Lady Rosalind…if you please—"
"Thank you," Rosalind said. The man just announced their engagement and even called her his fiance. He just started the game, a terrible… terrible game.
Rosalind smiled and watched as the Duke left. She then turned towards Princess Isabel and beamed.
"Princess Isabel…"
"What is your relationship with the Duke?" Princess Isabel didn't hesitate to address the elephant in the room.
