Charles stopped sipping on his coffee abruptly. His long lashes concealed his eyes and emotions.

Gwendolyn pretended not to notice his displeasure and continued provoking him. “In Chanaea, you’re just the fourth son of the influential Newton family. But here, who are you? Why should I trust that you can get me the antidote?”

Charles sipped on his coffee calmly before putting his coffee cup down. “I’m nothing here, but my mother is the crown princess of the country.”

Gwendolyn was startled to hear his answer. She assumed he would hide his identity instead of revealing it to her honestly.

He continued, “You’ve just arrived, so you don’t know the situation in Erihal well. My mother is the only elder sister of the king, and she’s well–respected here. As she had never participated in my upbringing, she feels guilty and promises to fulfill a wish of mine. It is pretty easy for me to get the antidote.”

Gwendolyn analyzed the situation calmly. “Your mother refused to return to Chanaca with your father and marry him. Was it because she was the crown princess and couldn’t leave?”

Charles‘ expression grew stern. “No, she was already engaged to marry someone else back then.”

Realization dawned on Gwendolyn. “If that’s the case, your mother must have been married and had children with her husband. She can make you a promise, but I doubt her husband would agree to it if he found out.”

Charles scowled unhappily. “I told you my identity because you’ll marry me one day, so I want to be honest with you. If you insist on questioning me further and intend to sow discord, I don’t think we should continue talking about it.”

He got mad already?

Gwendolyn was surprised to hear that.

It looks like Charles isn’t on good terms with the crown princess‘ husband. Perhaps there is where I should start.

“If you refuse to answer me, forget it.”

Gwendolyn quickly changed the topic. “I’ve never been to a real Epean–style palace. I’m curious to see what it’s like. It’s quite boring to stay here, so when will you be available to show me around?”

“No problem,” Charles agreed. “You must be tired after the plane ride, so get some rest. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to visit the palace and meet my mother. Ever since she learned about our upcoming marriage, she’s been eager to meet you.”

Feeling repulsed by his constant talk about marriage, Gwendolyn abruptly asked him to leave.

“It’s late, and I think you should be off. I won’t ask you to stay for dinner.”

“Yes, I do need to leave. You know me well, Gwen!”

Charles smirked and picked up his coat. “Have a good rest tonight, and I’ll see you tomorrow. Oh, by the way, remember to call me Vidar Lund here.”

Gwendolyn didn’t bother to reply or get up to see him out.
