He must not fall! What if something happens to him, to the baby?!
Yves grabbed the thing he bumped into without any thinking. However, his balance was already off, thus, he prayed for the ground to turn into a cushion instead.
He closed his eyes as he waited to bounce. But his eyes fluttered open as soon as he heard someone's voice.
"Are you alright, Your Highness?"
That cool and kind voice belongs to Duke Benett—one of the two dukes of Abraz Kingdom.
Duke Benett was known to be a bookworm. He was always cooped up in his own private library. Rumors said he'd rather read a book than attend court meetings and participate in banquets.
This is why only a few can recognize him.
One of the few was Yves since Duke Andrei Laus Benett was one of the first prince's closest friends and would sometimes visit the palace to discuss things with his older brother.
"Y…Yes," Yves answered, sighing in relief that he didn't fall.
