DAYS later, Marcus and Cesia were attending an evening party at Marquess Daphne’s residence. Cesia had received an invitation from one of the noblewomen she had sat with at a tea party several days before.

Cesia wore a deep blue dress embroidered with silver thread and a pearl hair ornament, which both went well with her black hair. Marcus wore a matching tie made of the same material as her dress.

The two greeted the host, the marquess, then Marcus accompanied Cesia to the floor to dance a song together. They weren’t dancing alone, as they had once before; a great number of people were watching them. Cesia seemed incredibly nervous but managed, thanks to Marcus’s lead.

“I was so anxious…” Cesia mumbled as they leisurely separated from the rest of the people dancing.

Marcus quietly chuckled. Cesia was the type of person who performed better when it really mattered, and she had danced confidently, but internally, she had been afraid. “I think you did really well,” he said.

“Thank you…” Cesia looked embarrassed. “But when I look at everyone else, I always get the painful realization that I still have a long way to go.”

Marcus raised an eyebrow. Cesia was being awfully pessimistic. Lately, she had been working hard to embody the role of princess consort perfectly, but he felt that she had suppressed her true charm. Still, she was doing it for his sake, so he hesitated to say that what she was doing was unnecessary.

Cesia had lived as a commoner for most of her life until recently. There was no way that she would catch up to born-and-raised nobles in such a short time. Taking that into account, she definitely deserved a passing grade. He believed, at least, that he had said as much to her.

“You must be tired from the stress. Do you want to take a breather?” Marcus asked.

Cesia frowned. “But we have to go greet…no, you’re the prince, so they come to greet you, right? Anyway, there’s that and all sorts of other things we need to do. Aren’t we too busy to be taking a break?”

Marcus led her by the hand to the wall and tried to persuade her. “I can accept greetings alone. I’ve done it that way until now. Besides, tonight is to help you get used to this, so I don’t mind if you take it slow.”

No matter the training, going all out from the start always led to overexertion. With good reason, Marcus thought that, with Cesia’s ability and work ethic, she would easily adapt as long as she took the time to get used to things.
