The moment the woman spoke her mind, the others panicked and covered her mouth.
"Have you lost your mind? You can't just say things like that. She's the princess consort-to-be! What if she heard you?"
They watched Annabella's back with anxiety, and the woman started to regret her words.
Even without considering Annabella's future title, just being the grand duke's daughter put her above them.
Knowing Annabella, if she had heard those words, she would surely make trouble for that woman.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I won't say things that will cause trouble anymore."
After the woman backed down, they all eagerly started talking about Matthew.
"Hey, do you think the good-looking Matthew has a date? Do you think he'll ask me to dance?"
"In your dreams! If he asks anyone, it'll be me..."
"Why would he ask you? He doesn't know you. Why would he pick you?"
"Because I'm prettier than you..."
Cillian strolled past them and stopped in front of Matthew. His words were tinged with a teasing edge. "Mr. Leon, you sure have a way with the ladies. They seem to like you wherever you go..."
Matthew's eyebrows knitted together as he saw Cillian. He was not pleased. "What are you trying to say with that odd tone? And why are you here today? This is my wife's special day, and it's got nothing to do with you."
"Mr. Leon, you're funny. I'm part of the delegation, so of course, I'm here because the king invited me. And besides, Lucy and I are former classmates. It's only right for me to come and see her," Cillian replied, brushing off Matthew's aloof remarks.
