2nd Prince David followed closely behind Luciana, not understanding why she was still trying to keep a distance from him when he had told her he was her little friend, Talon from Serenevale. Was she that scared of people talking about him being close to her? Or could it be because of another reason?
He stared at her side profile as she conversed with her maids freely, not caring about the differences in their social standing, and stroking the cat in her arms with a gentle expression on her face, and he felt like hiding her away from the world. He wanted to be the only one who could see her beauty.

They arrived at the Pearl Auction House, and the gatekeeper greeted them.
"Welcome, 2nd Prince David, honorable guests," he said and bowed to them.
"Your room is ready; please allow the servant there to direct you to your private room," he added.
