When the prince saw Jeffery pointing at himself, he was surprised. His frown deepened before he asked. "Why?"
"After the meeting, I had an idea, although I would have asked you first before starting the rumor. I did not think it will spread so fast. My reason was simple. As long as people think that you have special feelings for lady Vera, she will become the target of anyone who wants to hurt you. Moreover, many of the lords will feel better if they think that you rejected Lady Vera because she hurt your ego in the past. No one will think anything is wrong with it," Jeffery explains.
Prince Sebastian knew that Jeffery was right about his calculation. It was just that the prince did not care what the people think, but if the ting rumor will keep his sunshine safe he did not have a problem.
