the empress took a cup of tea , took a sip .

and then turned to Clivat .

she smiled and in a very gentle voice spoke"Miss Clivat , i heard the Marquess prepared a new greenhouse for you , and there are many rare and precious flowers and plants in it. "

Clivat replied in a soft voice ,that it is true and she is very grateful towards her father for giving such a thoughtful present and towards the empress who noticed such details .

the empress laughed and said ,oh miss clivat ,i am really glad to hear that you have such an elegant hobby of taking care of flowers .

then the empress turned to helen and told " Miss Mackil, you too should learn something about flowers , loving my son can always wait "

hearing the empress blame helen about not having any hobby other than chasing the prince everyone started whispering.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

but helen already knew that empress would talk something about the new greeanhouse Clivat recieved.

As helen was going to reply to the empress ,the crown prince entered .

The crown prince walked towards Clivat's side .

he greeted the empress and looked clivat with deep affection.

their eyes clearly showed how much they loved each other .Then the Crown Prince turned towards Helen , and spoke in a cold voice "mother , why did you invite someone who doesnt have manners ,while my dear Clivat is also present here "

The empress told the prince to stand quiet.

but the prince continued to insult helen telling that , she didnt have any elemental power ,and except from a good family background she doesnt have anything to even talk about .

everyone looked at helen and started whispering, they knew that Helen would stand up , shout at Clivat and blame her for stealing Helen's fiancé and would cry and run outside .

but this time helen acted different she did not change her cold facial expression, she was calmly drinking her cup of tea.

after the prince stopped talking ,helen raised her head , kept the cup of tea down on table ,and stared at the prince .

[Helen's thoughts]

hmm, he does look pretty good with that violet hair of his .but he is still not my type.

Helen is a fool to be trampled by this mother son pair even when she is the heir to Mackil Dukedome .but I am different .

and this tea served is so aromatic and refreshing .their talk ruined my tea .
