For a few seconds, Rowan felt an intense aversion, as if his flowers had been tarnished by cow dung.
But Claire quickly averted her gaze and looked at Taylor with composure.
Politely, she said to him, "I'm not interested in horseback riding, and I don't have the time." She offered him a courteous smile, then continued walking towards the stairs.
"What are you interested in, then?!" Taylor called after her, a little stubborn. Everyone present could see that the prince had taken a liking to the female translator.
Claire furrowed her brow slightly and answered without looking back, "I'm not interested in anything! I love studying!"
Although Rowan remained expressionless, his gaze seemed to carry a hint of ice as he watched Taylor's departing figure.
A brief awkwardness filled the palace.
Everyone understood that the translator wasn't interested in Prince Taylor. They just wondered if Prince Louis pursued her, would she beinterested?
After Claire left, the king sat down with his two sons. Leaning back in his chair, he looked at Louis on his left and then at Taylor on his right.
"How are things going between you and Claire? Come on, both of you, give me an update," the king requested.
Taylor, with a gentle smile, withdrew his gaze from the corner where Claire had disappeared.
Bertie could see his son's thoughts with just one look. "Taylor, do you like Claire?" he asked.
Taylor looked at his father, momentarily unsure of how to respond. First, because Louis was present, and second, because Claire was currently not available.
His liking seemed futile.
"Father, I simply like the type of girl she is," Taylor didn't hide anything, "but please rest assured that I will prioritize my studies."
The king had always been concerned about his studies.
"I see," the king nodded in satisfaction. Taylor had grown up a lot recently.
Then, the king's gaze shifted to Rowan. "And what about you, Louis? Do you have a girlfriend?"
