Vanessa was taken aback by what the Crown Prince had said. She felt a bit humiliated but it was her fault, "I apologize, I have gotten ahead of myself and assumed wrong." she said.
The moment she heard the knock in her room and the knight announcing that the Crown Prince was going to enter, she was surprised because she was not informed that Charles Howard was visiting.
At the same time she was glad to hear his arrival, thinking that he had come to the Lanstone Household to see her. She thought that she had caught the Crown Prince's interest, even a bit.
When the Crown Prince did not deny that he was interested in her, she became more confident and assumed that he had come all the way to the Lanstones just to meet with her.
But it was a mistake, she was wrong.
'He is interested but he is not here for me?' she thought but did not let her emotions transparent for the Crown Prince.
