The people watched the two dancing elegantly like a painting on stage, utterly entranced.
However, Princess Yurianna, watching from the seat of honor, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Your Highness, how could Sir Raymond betray us?"
The maids were already furious, and seeing Yurianna laughing only made their blood boil.
"Your Highness, how can you laugh? You really are too kind for your own good."
"After all the consideration Her Highness showed, to think he would betray her! I never knew Sir Raymond was such a man without loyalty!"
The maids united in their criticism of Sir Raymond.
However, Cecile defended Sir Raymond with a voice on the verge of tears.
"Surely Miss Grace must have seduced Sir Raymond like a fox!"
Even at those words, Princess Yurianna remained unmoved.
Because she knew the reason why Sir Raymond was acting that way.
'Truly childish.'
But perhaps somewhat cute....
Yurianna raised the corners of her lips as she gazed at Sir Raymond.
At first, she too had been angry.
She thought the kindness she had shown Sir Raymond was being returned as betrayal.
But upon closer thought, that wasn't the case.
It was along the same lines as when Sir Raymond had particularly praised other men during the tea party.
'He's trying to make me jealous...'
Just like how she had employed tactics to make Route jealous.
But Sir Raymond seemed to be a higher-level player than herself.
'I mustn't let myself be swayed.'
Even as Yurianna scoffed inwardly, she couldn't take her eyes off Sir Raymond.
