After all, their opponent was Patrick. He was handsome, accomplished in both academics and sports, and possessed of irreproachable conduct. Though he was the first son of the distinguished House Dyce, heâd chosen his love for Alicia over his rank before her true identity was uncovered, and once she was established as the princess, he had entered the royal family as her husband.
Everything about him was perfect. Moreover, he sparkled even more than usual today, having guessed the present situation. He was downright dazzling. No man could win against him. Or rather, no man wouldâve taken up the challenge in the first place. Even if they did, being compared to someone like Patrick would only decrease their odds of winning tremendously.
âA-As expected, with Lord Patrick standing next to Lady Mary, it truly looks like a painting...â
âGoodness, to think Lord Patrick is actually here... I-Itâs an honor to meet you. I hope you enjoy your stay.â
âI see that Lady Mary wants to spend some time with her friend, so I shouldnât interrupt. Until we meet again.â
Having grown hesitant in the face of Patrickâs presence, the Feydellan men bid inoffensive words of farewell and made their escape. They didnât try to specify a date for their next meeting, nor did they waste time on delivering excessive goodbyes. Patrick being here was truly effective.
Seemingly aware of everything, Patrick kept that dazzling smile on his face as he watched the men scurry off. His hair continued fluttering in the wind, and his eyes creased softly. He really was a good-looking man, and his charming smile caused all the other men to vanish from sight.
Once they were gone, Patrick turned to Mary. His perfect features were tinted with dismay, and all the sparkles from before were nowhere to be seen. âGood grief. You sent an urgent message for me, so I was worried at first. But to think you summoned me to Feydella just to have me chase away some men...â he said flatly.
âOh? I thought youâd drop everything just to answer my call, yes?â Mary countered, shrugging her shoulders.
âYeah, I would. Thatâs why Iâm here right now. But I will complain about it.â
Just where had that charming, pleasant, sparkling young man from before gone off to? In front of Mary was an exasperated man, who ordered tea and tarts at House Albertâs expense as payment. Of course his appearance and conduct were good, but he wasnât glimmering.
âWell, complain if you like. Iâm just glad you came. Become my shield and drive away the men of Feydella for me, will you?â
âShield?â Patrick echoed sourly, looking discontented. Yet when he sensed another man approaching them, his glittering smile from before returned in a flash. His radiance and beauty made the man whoâd been about to flirt with Mary hesitate.
If one couldnât say that Patrick was serving as Maryâs shield right now, then what other phrase would have possibly described the situation better? Everything was going as planned, and Mary smirked to herself.
Once the other man left, Patrick went back to his usual (though perhaps slightly more exasperated) countenance.
