Chapter 45 - Noble title

Taisetsuna was frowning at her wrist while Robert was putting one of his bracelets there.

He smiled at her and kissed her hand. “A pretty bracelet for a pretty woman. This one matches your eyes, it really suits you.”

She retrieved her hand, completely red, while the Nobles were frowning and the Princess was smiling. Besides her, no one seemed very pleased to see Robert addressing with such politeness and interest in a mere commoner.

One middle-aged woman put in words what everyone was thinking. “I don’t think it is very proper for you to offer such an exquisite bracelet to a commoner, Robert. She will sell it at the very first opportunity.”

He answered without even averting his eyes from Taisetsuna. “No, she will not. But even if she sells it, I will just give her another. Besides, a bet is a bet, and she won her game.”
