After the palace banquet ended, Daisy went back to the Lucas family alone.
It never occurred to her that it would be someone as lowly as Martha who danced the first dance with the new king.
In her opinion, someone of unknown origin like Martha shouldn't even have been allowed at the banquet in the first place!
Once she returned home alone and went straight into her room where she threw things around until they broke. Just when she smashed a vase onto the ground outside of her door there came an urgent knocking sound from outside of it too suddenly for comfort.
"Get lost!"
"Sis? It's me."
Andrew replied in a deep voice, and opened the door of his sister's room with a serious face.
He didn't know what happened at the palace banquet today until Daisy returned to the Lucas family.
He didn't expect that a lowly person like Martha dared to reprimand the duke's daughters at the palace banquet, and still get the favor of King Ducasse.
In his opinion, the reason why Martha was able to shine at today's palace banquet was because she was attractive enough.
Upon entering Daisy's room he ignored all broken pieces scattered across its floor while focusing solely on comforting his sister who stood amidst them looking disheveled.
"Sis, don't be angry. Maybe King Ducasse just finds the oriental look intriguing," Andrew said, trying to calm Daisy down.
"Intriguing?" Daisy retorted angrily. "I saw how she was trying to seduce the king. She clearly wants to become a queen!"
"No matter how good-looking she is, she can't compare to you, sis! You are a lady who grew up in the Lucas family. How can someone of unknown origin compare to you?"
Andrew sneered at Martha, showing his disdain for her.
Hearing this, Daisy not only didn't calm down, but became even more angry.
Daisy's anger only grew when she heard this and she grabbed a nearby cup and threw it on the ground while raising her voice.
"If you have time to comfort me here, why don't you go kill her?"
Andrew paused for a moment when he heard this and couldn't help but picture Martha's face in his mind - the same woman who had protected that little maid so fiercely in the garden that day.
No one had ever dared defy him like that before at Lucas family except for her.
And then today at the palace banquet where Martha attended dressed like an angel fallen from heaven itself...
Thinking about Martha's charm made Andrew smirk wickedly as he said.
"Rather than killing her, I'd rather play with her."
