"This is overkill…" Silvia raised her brows awkwardly, gazing at the horde of maids lined up in front of the mansion with us.
"He is a luxurious man, Sivi." I chuckled seeing her reaction. "I told you, you don't have to welcome him with me. You could use this day to rest."
"Your Grace, you know the reason I had taken a day off. For you to prepare everyone for an entire week to have such a grand welcome to the prince of Karo, I need to see it myself."
"There's nothing to see, Sivi." I shook my head, setting my eyes on the carriage that was heading towards us. "I just want to impress his highness. Prince Heliot gifted me all the rare gems to build my wealth, after all. How can I show him such discourtesy when, thanks to him, Grimsbanne recovered and is doing better now?"
Silvia cast me a side glance, couldn't conceal the doubt in her eyes. "You're getting better and better at making logical excuses, Your Grace."
