Chapter 28: King’s Gaze (1/2)

Claire looked at the impatient handsome noble and sighed in her heart. The viewpoint of this body’s previous owner… She really couldn’t agree or appreciate it.

“This guy looks like he deserves a whipping.” Walter’s voice noisily sounded. Suddenly he asked suspiciously, “How could you fall for that arrogant wimpy brat? What does he mean by those words?” Even if Walter was beaten to death, he would never believe this little devil would take a liking to that youth.

Claire didn’t speak. She couldn’t tell Walter she really wasn’t the Claire from before.

The handsome youth saw Claire not speaking and got more and more impatient. He felt envy and hatred. This man-chaser actually became the disciple of Sir Cliff. And although she still hasn’t become a true magician, doesn’t have any achievements, she was actually bestowed the title of Baron. Although Baron is the lowest title, it still is a title! Looking at the silent Claire, the handsome youth became more agitated and disdainful. So she was a starry eyed infatuation man-chaser1! Asking her to dance and she was so moved she couldn’t say anything!

“Sorry, I don’t know how to dance. Please find someone else.” Claire answered coldly.

The handsome youth was stunned. Doesn’t know how to dance? These words coming from the man-chaser Claire was a total joke. Everyone knew that incompetent man-chaser Claire also had a skill, which was dancing! But right now she actually said she couldn’t dance?! What did she mean by that? Was this some kind of ploy? The handsome youth frowned. He understood his father’s words. Knowing that Claire had chased him before, he wanted him to gain her favor and accompany her in order to create a good relationship with the Hill family. Lashia, who was so brilliant and talented, was a little hard to go after. But as for aiming for this man-chaser, there was a chance.

“Are you declining in order to reel me in?” The handsome youth laughed coldly, then he added before Claire could respond, “Then congratulations, you’ve succeeded. Come dance with me.” The handsome youth extended his hand.

Claire felt a little helpless, not because of the youth’s behavior, but because of the actions of the previous Claire. If a person like that suddenly changed her attitude, it was hard for anyone to accept it.

“ I think you misunderstood. Claire was waiting for me.” a calm voice came from behind the youth.

The handsome youth turned around, stunned to see the second prince smiling at him.

“Your highness.” The handsome youth quickly bowed but still felt an indescribable feeling. Did Claire turning over a new leaf even change the attitude of the second prince who she had been chasing before?

Nancy lightly nodded at the handsome youth, smiling graciously.

“Then I’ll be taking my leave, your highness.” The handsome youth slightly bowed and withdrew from the balcony.

Claire was still silent and didn’t say anything.

“What, you’re not going to thank me saving you from an awkward situation” Nancy laughed softly while making fun of Claire.

“The person who should thank you is him.” Claire quietly laughed, her voice with an unmatched coldness.

Of course Nancy knew what Claire meant. But Nancy didn’t mind Claire’s tone and only indifferently laughed. “May I have the honor of dancing with you?” After he said this, Nancy elegantly extended his hand towards Claire.

“No.” Claire didn’t give any face and coldly refused without even batting an eye.

Nancy wasn’t angered and instead laughed. He gently withdrew his hand, not offended the slightest by Claire’s blunt refusal.

“That night, it was I who stopped Jean. I wasn’t saying it for him, I was telling the truth. It was just that that night I wanted to figure out who you were.” Nancy approached Claire’s ear and murmured laughingly. To an outsider it looked like a pair of lovers whispering secrets. But the truth was completely different.

“Oh. So what?” Claire smiled while rocking the glass of wine in her hand. The coldness she emitted could make people shiver.

Nancy went mute. So what? That one, cold sentence completely stopped what he was going to say. So what if he stopped Jean or not? Then what was relevant? The most important thing was that this young girl in front of him was no longer a normal person, no longer a man-chaser, but sir Cliff’s disciple!

“If your Highness doesn’t have any more to say, I would like to be alone for a while.” Claire said lazily, leaning on the balcony railing. Her gaze floated towards the quiet garden.

Nancy paused for a moment before nodding his head. “If that’s so, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Claire nodded with not so much as a glance towards Nancy.
