The royal family would be so embarrassed if the princess showed how much she desired a man!
Therefore, Rowan slowly placed the teacup down, and a sly glint flashed in his smiling eyes.
"Your Highness, you're asking about Neil?"
Victoria had been tinkering with her accessories, and her fingers curled up when she heard Neil's name. However, she looked unfazed.
Rowan said smilingly, "Neil did come back with them."
"Then I…" Victoria hesitated.
"Your Highness, how could you speak up in initiative, given your high status?" Rowan said calmly, "According to the royal family rules, Your Highness can't ask to meet a man personally. It'd have to be Neil who makes an official invitation with gifts!"
There was a change in Victoria's expression.
Waiting for Neil to ask to meet her? What difference would it make from asking the sun to rise from the west?
Despite that, she could not retort since Rowan brought up the royal family rules. She could only bite her lips and tug on her bracelet.
Alexander was observant, discerning that Rowan did not welcome the two of them. Even though they were royals, the royal family was only a decoration in this country.
Rowan had to respectfully address them "Your Highness", purely out of courtesy and favor.
It was time for both of them to leave now.
Alexander tugged Victoria's sleeves to shoot her a look.
Victoria's expression was stiff since she was in a bad mood, so Alexander could only stand up himself to make more pleasantries before letting his escorts lead the way and slowly making it to the door.
When he passed by Zephyr, his gaze paused on the latter's face again. Zephyr noticed it and looked up only to meet the prince's gentle smile.
