The two people with similar expressions looked so similar that if others saw them, they would think they were ‘brother and sister.’
“Last time, you came into my Palace without permission, right? This isn’t even a private residence. Why are you being so sensitive?”
“I can’t help but be sensitive since you’re wandering around the unclaimed office. How dare you enter the crown prince’s office.”
Damian said, grabbing the scattered documents on the desk.
‘Look at how sharp your eyes are.’
Agnes was inwardly impressed, but spoke while hiding her expression.
“There’s something I’d like to get some advice on.”
“Advice? from me?”
Damian asked in surprise.
“Yes, brother.”
“What advice?”
Damian gave up on pointing out any more and went to sit in front of his desk.
To be honest, he had no intention of having a friendly conversation with Agnes face to face. He didn’t have time.
but…There were rumors going around that Agnes had become quieter recently.
Thanks to this, he was quite generous-hearted.
My quiet younger sister asked me for advice, so I thought it would be okay to give her a little time.
To be honest, it was obvious that she didn’t have to listen to the advice she was asking for.
‘I guess you want to meet Raymond Spencer.’
However, what followed was completely different from what was expected.
“I’m planning to go to the Marchioness Melville’s support party, but I don’t have anything to donate.”
Items to donate to a sponsored party?
Damian asked half-heartedly, without taking his eyes off the document.
“I guess the only thing left in your place is jewelry?”
“Jewelry is so obvious that it’s not interesting.”
Damien looked at Agnes as if he was surprised by her answer.
If it’s a gem, she will be excited and like it…
‘It’s obvious? Not interesting?’
Even as a child, Agnes was a child who would cry and smile brightly whenever a jewel was handed to her.
Agnes said, looking at Damian, who looked a little surprised.
“It is a place where noble ladies with deep knowledge of art gather. I came here to ask my brother for advice because I was worried that there might not be any sponsorship items suitable for the formality….”
You don’t have anything either?
Damian’s eyebrows twitched as Agnes spoke in a disappointed tone.
“Wait.”
He immediately got up from his seat and headed to the bookshelf.
Agnes watched Damien’s actions with a sullen expression.
What he brought was a book that, unlike other books, was neatly stored in a cabinet.
Damian handed the book to Agnes.
“What is it?”
“This is an excerpt from a collection of poems by Grandel, a poet from 100 years ago.”
“A collection of poetry?”
“For noble ladies who value culture, there will be nothing more coveted than that.”
The book in my hand had a faded cover, as if it were 100 years ago.
However, the value seemed high, perhaps because it was well maintained.
“…..Thank you, brother.”
“The Marchioness of Melville is a distinguished and excellent lady. It’s a good choice for you to hang out with such a noble lady.”
Damian said as if he was proud.
‘I wonder if someone is an old guy….’
Agnes could see why Damian was generous.
Agnes, who was a troublemaker, liked the idea of spending time with high-class ladies.
“I heard a rumor that you have grown up, and it is true.”
Unlike the first time, Damian looked at Agnes with a quite generous expression.
“Yes, that’s right. I’m all grown up now.”
As I mumbled a soulless answer with a blank look in my eyes, Damian seemed to like me even more.
“Good idea. Raymond Spencer will like it too.”
“……?”
Eh?
Suddenly here… Why does it come up with that name?
Agnes barely suppressed her expression from almost crumpling.
After talking nonsense, Damian turned over the documents with a proud expression, as if he was in a good mood.
Agnes decided to leave without bothering to point it out.
“I’ll stop then….”
Damian caught her like that.
“Ah, why don’t you just sit down and drink some tea together? Because there’s a guest coming that you might be happy to see.”
“…….”
Somehow, it seems like an unwelcome guest at all.
Agnes made an excuse for her ominous premonition and tried to leave.
Knocking-
However, the first thing I heard was a knock on the door and the servant’s voice.
“His Royal Highness, Lord Spencer has come to visit.”
“Come in!”
Damian stood up with a bright expression.
Agnes, who was standing blankly hugging a book, suddenly darkened.
Damien looked at Agnes with a happy face.
‘Yeah, She’s embarrassed.’
He felt amazing that his younger sister had become so steady after a long time.
I had recently heard that Agnes and Raymond were not on good terms.
However, as her older brother, I knew my sister’s sincerity better than anyone else.
From a young age, Agnes stopped crying even when Raymond cried.
Just like when we gave her a jewel.
Of course, Raymond Spencer still doesn’t like Agnes, just like he did when he was young…
I believed that as much as my sister worked hard, Raymond would eventually change his mind.
Squeak-
The door opened and Raymond Spencer, neatly dressed in uniform, came in.
Raymond gave a light salute and lifted her head.
In front of him, there was a woman standing with the crown prince with her back to him.
The woman wearing a light purple dress was clearly Princess Agnes.
The princess is the only woman in the empire with such a unique hair color.
But perhaps it was thanks to the sunlight shining through the window behind the princess.
The princess’s silver hair, which was usually light purple, now appeared entirely silver.
“Lord Spencer, are you here? Come on, Agnes. You too, come and sit here.”
Agnes slowly turned around at the prince’s words.
At that moment, Raymond’s brow furrowed.
Somehow this moment was vividly engraved in his eyes like a slow motion picture.
Is it because of the dazzling sunlight passing through the window?
Agnes, who was dressed plainly unlike usual, reminded me of someone.
Someone I have missed my whole life, someone whose heart breaks just thinking about it.
“Brother, I’m very busy preparing for tomorrow’s party. I’ll just go today.”
“What? why not….”
Damian didn’t understand.
Agnes refuses to have tea with Raymond? why?
‘Has the relationship become that bad? Wasn’t it just Agnes getting upset and complaining?’
Agnes spoke as if she had no regrets at all.
“I will use the donated items that my brother gave me well. Thank you, brother.”
After saying that, he walked straight away.
A brief moment when Agnes passes by Raymond.
The two people’s eyes met in the air.
Agnes’ expression was mysterious.
She seemed uncomfortable and hurt.
Just like that, Agnes passed by Raymond and left his office.
To Raymond, that short moment felt very long.
“…….”
He couldn’t move as if he had seen his mother in his dream.
I just stared blankly at the empty seat.
bang!
The sound of the office door closing behind me was heard.
Only then did he realize that Agnes’ hurt expression had left a cold mark on his heart.
It felt as if a sharp tip of paper had grazed my heart.
There was silence for a moment.
Damian sighed heavily and looked at his Raymond.
Raymond stood there like a frozen man.
Although his face was expressionless, Damian somehow felt that he was very offended.
Agnes must have offended Raymond again.
Either that or Agnes is complaining again.
“Hey, Raymond. Did you really have a big fight with Agnes?”
Damian asked as if he didn’t understand.
What I didn’t understand was the same thing for Raymond.
He was very confused about the emotions he felt a moment ago.

Waiting for the day he realizes Agnes is totally over him 😆😆😆
YEAAHH😂😂
YEAHHHHH
PLS
dont be ******* dense
OH HELL NAWW SEEING AGNES AS HIS MOTHER?? WHAT KIND OF EMOTIONAL INCEST 😭😭😭
Two very unfortunate things for Raymond:
1. He’s only recognizing Agnes’ physical similarities to his mother now that she also have an unhappy expression… like his mom did
2. HE DAD WILL BE RIGHT! NOOOO STOP!!! He’ll really regret losing her nooooooo (I hate his dad and the possibility that he was right ヽ(´Д`ヽ)
