Yohana and Henrie made their entrance into the opulent royal dining chamber, Fabian following closely behind. The emperor's lack of surprise indicated that Empress Viktoria had likely apprised him of Fabian's presence in advance.
As anticipated, Fabian effortlessly assimilated into the gathering, exuding an easy charm that made him a delight to converse with.
Emperor Ferdinand found himself engaged in lively conversation with Fabian, unintentionally diverting attention away from Henrie.
Observing the shift in dynamics, Henrie leaned in to whisper to Yohana, "He seems to be enjoying himself."
With a warm smile, Yohana responded, "Then we should make the most of our time here too. How about we visit a charming coffee house tomorrow, just the two of us?"
She seized the moment to extend the invitation to Henrie. It was her way of ensuring he didn't feel sidelined or envious of Fabian, especially considering his role in the evening's discussions.
