Everyone was astonished to see The Duke of Dalton and the future empress of the empire attending the birthday banquet together.
Specially count Arlo, who never thought that Eleanora will really come, let alone duke Dalton.
But then everyone noticed the rumoured cufflinks on Alexander's sleeves.
"So she gave them to the duke?"
"But doesn't it seem like she is desperate to deny the rumours?"
"Does she thinks we are going to buy this?"
"With Duke Dalton's money, it's not impossible for her to order another pair."
"He must have heard the rumours, so he came with her to-"
The whispering stopped as Alexander glared at them with a frown and made everyone around her quite.
Under everyone's curious gaze, Eleanora, who was wearing a white floral dress approched Lady Rosette Arlo with a smiling face.
"I wish you a very happy 16th birthday, Lady Arlo."
"T-Thank you, Your highness. Am very happy to see you..."
'So...So beautiful...'
