"And I also don't feel like being scolded by my father."
While Maxime and Princess Selene chatted outside, Dorian watched Aveline from time to time so he could go and talk to her.
After all, she was his future wife, and he needed to show his guests that they were close.
As a young lady walked away from Aveline with a smile, Dorian seized her opportunity.
Approaching her gently, he gave her a charming smile.
"Good evening, Aveline." he said in a calm, composed voice.
"I think you look absolutely ravishing tonight, that midnight blue dress suits you perfectly."
Aveline turned her head towards him, a little surprised by his approach.
"Good evening Dorian, thank you." she replied, her tone slightly cool.
Dorian placed himself closer to her, observing the sparkle of her dress in the light.
"It's not given to everyone to wear a dress with such grace. And I'm just pointing out the obvious."
