It was too sudden.

Reynsis? On the Imperial 7th Princess’s birthday?

Reynsis stopped moving as he stared at her sharply.

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

Prim gasped as she rushed at him.

“I’m sorry.”

“If you don’t like it just say it. It was you who asked me to practice.”

Prim felt like she was being accused.

“But it’s not just my fault. It’s because you are being so pretty.” 2

“What?”

“I’m surprised to see such a pretty face up close. I’m sure everyone else does.”

“…….”

“So, this is not my fault.”

Prim shrugged it off as she was confident that it was never her fault to begin with.

“So it’s my fault?”

Reynsis said with one of his eyebrows furrowed. Prim nodded without any hesitation.

“I am so embarrassed by your beauty, Your Highness. Oh, Your Highness would have been embarrassed if he wasn’t this beautiful. I’m actually very happy just to be talking to you. It’s so embarrassing.” 1

“…….”

Reynsis looked at her gently again as Prim was flustered.

“You thought I was lying again, didn’t you? I can hear your mind from here. Like I said, I’m a mind reader.”

“You are really….”

Reynsis stopped in the middle. Prim closed her eyes as she was sure he was going to scold her again.

But he was quiet. She slowly opened her closed eyes.

“……”

(Reyn) “You are making me laugh.”

Prim was speechless and couldn’t utter any words.

The cold stone Prince was looking down at Prim with a comfortable smile. 5
