In the room, the little prince Dominique Royal finally turned to look at Jasper.
Dominique’s appearance was pleasing to the eye. His facial features leaned more to the feminine side, and despite being a man, he gave off a distinct charm.
This was especially true for the delicate shape of his eyes under his defined brows. The man’s gaze lit up with an unforgettable shine.
While Jasper looked Dominique over, Dominique did the same to him.
The two equally young men observed each other quietly for two whole minutes without saying anything.
The ballet performance did not stop and the sounds of the piano flowed slowly like trickling water in the room.
Dominique eventually smiled.
“Have a seat.”
Dominique gestured to the seat opposite him with his palm.
Jasper walked up to take a seat.
Dominique’s gaze flickered back to the ballet performance on stage and said, “It’s a refreshing idea to hear an argument in favor of the future, Jasper.”
Jasper replied, “Your vision is unique as well, little prince. Not many so young prefer antiques and history.”
Dominique chuckled and replied slowly, “I had cooked up many ways of talking to you before we met, Jasper. But after seeing you, I realize that all those methods and tactics are useless.”
“So, I’ll be frank. I want to protect the Gardner family!”
Jasper nodded and replied, “Indeed. I do like it when things are more straightforward. In that case, I’ll be frank too and tell you and I want to get rid of the Gardner family.”
Dominique was neither angry nor frustrated when he heard Jasper say this, as if he had already anticipated this.
The man’s gaze was deep and he showed no sign of the terror rumored outside. It was almost as if he was just a normal gentle scholar.
