Mars and Ellena exchanged pleasantries before the king got to his table Ellena tried to touch Harlow's head to ruffle her hair, but before she could touch the baby, Mars's hand blocked hers

"Harlow is quite fussy lately," Mars said apologetically "She doesn't like to be touched"

"Oh is that so?" Ellena looked at Harloith a disappointed expression "I airl hello, Harloeetheart How are you?"

Harlow looked away and yawned, showing clear disinterest in this lady in the blue dress Ellena bit her lip, trying to suppress her anger She faked a smile and turned to Mars "What time does she usually sleep? Maybe it's past her bedtime?"

"It's okay She can sleep anywhere," Mars replied "She is not sleepy yet I want to bring her here so I can introduce ood" Ellena nodded with a smile "I am sure many people are very curious to knohat Harlow looks like It's about time you show her to the public"

"Yeah" Mars nodded "By the way, have you seen Edgar or Gewen?"

"No, not yet I saw their faht over there," Ellena replied "I can ask thear's and Gewen's whereabouts"

"There is no need for that," Mars quickly stopped Ellena "I am sure they will be here shortly"

"Very well"

"Okay, then," Mars said, pointing at his table, next to the Greenans "I have to sit now I alad you came Let's talk later"

"Yes, definitely," Ellena replied She watched until Mars got to his table and sat before she returned to her family's table

"So what?" The first woirl from the countryside that the Prestons took in with them She is not really a noblewoman like all of us In terms of status, she is not from our level She is a fake"

"You are new in the capital, so you don't really knoho she is," another woman chuckled "She is not Lady Preston's niece Ruhter So, even though she is a bastard, she really has blueblood in her Don't you know that Duke Preston is related to the old king's family?"

"Still she is a bastard She shouldn't be prancing around with her nose lifted so high, like a peacock acting as if she owns this palace"

"Wellthat we don't," said the second wo has really chosen her to becoht's ball is just their way of announcing their engage to say and ill have to pretend to suck up to her"
