Rutherford's eyes were narrowed at the other man who also held the same title of Earl like him.
As soon as Earl Mikren made his way into the garden and headed towards the Queen, all eyes were focused on him.
While Earl St. Claire did not care about the other man gaining everyone's attention, he was miffed that even his wife was doing the same.
Raylene had been standing next to him while the Duchess was on her other side.
Rutherford's arm was around her waist to keep her by his side but he was unable to keep her attention on him as well.
The Countess and the Duchess just like the other women were caught gawking at the good-looking man who was now conversing with the Queen.
The conversation between the royal and the newly appointed Earl was still a mystery but the others were only focused on the handsome man's appearance.
