Chapter 169: Completely Black (Deans POV)

Editor: Sam

Ange and Broad were still greeting guests, so Felicia will be introducing us to the visitors. Felicia is certainly reliable, but isnt this couple relying too much on her? No, is that what an heir to the Four Marquises should be like? Everyone is expected to fulfil their role as the head of the family from an early age.

Felicia, Stan called out to Felicia since she hadnt noticed us.

Oh my. Welcome. Stan-ojiisama. Dean-ojiisama.

We came since we had unusual guests.

I see, Felicia said while smiling, but her eyes werent smiling. Is she nervous? Felicia and I didnt have the chance to call each other by name, but her relationship with Lei has led us to calling each others names like this. Then, she introduced me to the young blond man next to her.

This is Prince Silas Easter. These two are Stan Lisburn and Dean Albans.

These two are part of the Four Marquises, right? Please call me Silas, the young man greeted in a quiet voice which made him seem like a very ordinary noble man. No, he seemed too ordinary. Most young people flinch when they hear the names of the Four Marquises or they may come forward because of their strong curiosity. However, the young man in front of me wasnt like that.

You can call me Stan, Prince Silas.

Call me Dean.

That was when our eyes met for the first time. The Princes almond eyes were only slightly opened, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It was like he had found something good. The Prince seemed to be checking my violet eyes just like how I had checked his golden eyes.

Violet eyes. I havent seen them in a while. Oh, sorry for suddenly being rude. I dont know if youve heard, but I met your son and daughter in Wester. Of course, I also met Stan-donos son.

According to Luke and Lei, it hadnt been a pleasant meeting for either side, but why did he mention it in such a pleasant way? If I hadnt heard about what had happened beforehand, then I would have thought they had a nice encounter.

Although my daughter is still young, I heard from my children that she did something rude to you. Thank you for tolerating her actions.

No, its fine. She didnt seem like she was in a very good mood. I was simply impressed by her strong will and energy.

The Third Prince replied to my polite apology with something that could be interpreted in any way. Then, he bent his left elbow as if he had remembered something and made a gesture that looked like he was grabbing something.

I hope I can see them again. Next time, I would like to firmly, no, slowly talk to them.

Luke is, if I do say so myself, a very mature boy. Maybe the next generation will be able to get along. Perhaps the Prince was referring to Lei. But I changed the conversation to Luke.

Luke-dono. Yes, Ive had the pleasure of meeting Felicia-dono, as well as Gilbert-dono and Lei-dono, I hope I can meet the Four Marquises again someday.

I knew it, hes talking about Lei this time.

I couldnt help but look away from the Prince and glanced at the other people at the party. Otherwise, I might say something unnecessary.

This man is black.

Hes also different from bad people. Were talking, but its like our responses are subtly passing each other, and were not standing on the same ground when were talking. It feels unpleasant.

In the midst of all this, I heard a voice that sounded like a dose of refreshment, Silas-sama, what did it mean when he said that Lei was rude?

Chris! Dont interrupt in their conversation! Felicia quickly stopped Chris from talking.

She wasnt rude. I wonder if Lei-dono still walks around with her stuffed animal.

Youre talking about the Rug Dragon stuffed animal, right?! She doesnt always have it with her, but she walks around with it like its important.

I see. She hit my leg with that stuffed animal.

Oh! I cant believe that Lei did something like that.

Chris looked up at the Prince in surprise.

Silas-sama, is it because you did something bad to her?

Thats It must have been surprising to be asked this since the Prince didnt know how to reply.

He didnt just do something bad to her, he kidnapped her in a rough way, I said sarcastically in my mind. And, this took my opinion of Chris up a notch.

Lei isnt the kind of girl who would hit someone for no reason just because she was in a bad mood. Chris knew this, so she is Leis friend.

After that, I had a light conversation with Harry and Bran about our bright children, and a harmless conversation with the Third Prince. The party ended without a hitch.

Do you think it ended peacefully, Dean?

Thats

I was able to grasp the Third Prince, so it should have ended fine. No, even if the Prince wasnt someone who I should be wary about, at least Lei and Luke werent in the royal capital right now, so I dont have to worry about them.

Its not something thats fine as long as Luke and Lei are safe. If you thought that Chriss matchmaking wasnt important, then Dean, you really are Stan looked at me and sighed.

Its
