The Crown Prince frowned, his displeasure growing.
The beautiful woman smiled brightly at the server. "We'll have a jar of pear blossom wine," she said, "with ice, please."
The server found her request a bit odd, but he went to prepare it anyway.
It was only ice, after all. They had as much as anyone could want.
The Crown Prince frowned slightly.
He thought the young woman was being rather brazen, completely ignoring his presence.
As if just remembering he was there, the beautiful woman arched an eyebrow. "Care for a drink?"
"...No," the Crown Prince refused, his long lashes lowering slightly, his expression unreadable.
Once the wine arrived, the beautiful woman immediately began to eat.
The Crown Prince felt a sense of deep satisfaction just watching her eat. He chuckled softly.
"No rush."
Members of the Imperial Family placed the utmost importance on poise and etiquette.
The beautiful woman ate with an unhurried elegance, completely ignoring the Crown Prince's gaze.
