Chapter Seven: Potential Fiancées

It was the weekend, and since there was no school, Filiel was home at the royal palace. He felt depressed. Several hours earlier, his brother, Alexis, had called for him and asked that he keep the company of the daughter of the visiting Marquess Chamberly, Charlotte, while Alexis and the marquess were in a meeting. Filiel had tried wordlessly signaling with his eyes that he absolutely couldn’t do it, but Alexis had just smiled and ignored his protests.

So far, Filiel had shown Charlotte the garden. He had no clue what else to do; Alexis was normally the one who entertained guests. Filiel’s powerful magical energy had an effect on people and things around him, so he kept the time he spent with others to an absolute minimum. As royalty, he had been educated on how to properly socialize from an early age, but he rarely attended parties. And though he could effortlessly smile around others, he was running on all cylinders trying to keep his conversation with Charlotte from growing awkward—a far cry from his brother, who was a wonderful conversationalist. The garden had seemed like it would stimulate conversation, but it was taking everything he had to keep his smile from looking stiff.

“My apologies,” Filiel said. “I’m poor at speaking. Your time here would be much more enjoyable if my brother were available to show you around.”

“Not at all!” Charlotte countered vehemently. “Your Highness is incredibly kind, and I’m pleased to be able to converse with you like this.”

“Thank you. It’s a relief to hear that.” He offered Charlotte a manufactured smile, and she blushed.

They continued their inconsequential conversation until finally, at long last, Alexis and Marquess Chamberly showed up.

“Thank you, Your Highness. I hope my daughter wasn’t too much of a bother,” said the marquess.

“Not a bit. I had a wonderful time,” Filiel replied.

“Ha ha ha, that is good to hear. If there happens to be another opportunity, I hope my daughter will be able to meet with you again, Your Highness. Now, it is time for us to take our leave.”

“Your Highnesses, Crown Prince Alexis and Prince Filiel, goodbye.” Charlotte bowed elegantly and then left with her father.

Filiel smiled as he saw them off, but as soon as they disappeared from sight, he put his hand on a pillar and exhaled deeply. “Haaaah.”

“Mwa ha ha, good work. Now that you’ve had a chance to talk with her, what do you think?” Alexis asked.

“I don’t know what to tell you. Nothing in particular, I suppose.” He didn’t know why Alexis was asking him this.

Charlotte’s respectful replies and courteous demeanor had seemed very practiced, perhaps because of her diligent father. She had left a good impression on Filiel—despite his powerful magical energy, she hadn’t shown any timidity around him. Other nobles often looked at him fearfully or flattered him more than would be called for by his position as prince, but Charlotte didn’t do any of that. Still, that was all. Besides that, she’d acted just like any other ordinary lady.
