"Hello, Damian, how is your day going?" Cedric greeted Damian with a friendly tone, clearly aware of Damian's feelings but intending to tease him a bit.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness," Damian responded with a gentle smile on his face, though everyone in the group could tell that the smile was an attempt to hide his true emotions.
"And you are Count Caranzo's son, Vincent, right? May I ask what business you have with Seraphine?" Damian inquired politely, although his tone hinted at his discontent.
When Vincent was questioned by Damian, nervousness washed over him, and sweat started to bead on his face. He felt the need to act quickly and wisely in this situation.
"I've only come to greet Miss Seraphine, Sir Damian. Now, please excuse me," Vincent responded with a quivering voice before hastily finding an excuse to leave the scene. He hadn't expected Damian and the crown prince to intervene in this manner.
