Viscount Sebastian chuckled. It was faint and sounded like a breath. Viscount Sebastian had never been so entertained by her stupidity. Adeline was exactly like her mother. She was just a pretty face with no brain. How did a fool like her find a fault in a legal contract?
"S-so if you can be patient enough," Adeline assured him "I will fulfill your request soon."
Viscount Sebastian loudly laughed. The taunting noise echoed in the room and sent her flinching back.
Her eyes clamped shut in fear.
His lips curled into a snarl. Her terrified reaction was just like that of the past, when he saw her before her parents ever did. It was funny how the world worked.
"What a brave girl you've become," Viscount Sebastian spat out.
The Mardens had always been at the mercy of the Roses. Adeline's father was a Crown Prince. Prince Kaline of Kastrem. They were only Princes and Princesses in name.
