Chapter 14: A married man
Chapter 14 - A married manWith her gaze cast down, the Princess spoke in a low voice that was laced with sadness, "I am so disappointed to see how you become ruder, General von Rodega." She sighed, slowly raising her head to meet the General's eyes. "Is it because you are married now? But why I don't see your wife here? Don't say that she has run away from you after realizing what a rude man you are." A smile, that was not a coy one, was now plastered on Princess Amanda's face, gradually turning into a chuckle, as if mocking the man who was rude to her. There was no sign of sadness that she previously showed through her voice.
However, the man was still showing an indifferent facial expression, as if unaffected by any behavior showcased by the woman in front of him. Watching her have fun of herself, he then commented, "It is good to know that you actually realized that I am a married man now. Therefore, I advise you to stop coming to the house of a married man, even though it is with the pretense of visiting my mother.

Apart from that, it was also not appropriate for a royal lady like Princess Amanda, especially when she was still unmarried, to frequently visit the residence of a married man.
Although it was under the pretext of visiting the man's mother as she had done long before the man was not in the state of being married, it was better to keep her distance away from the man's living place. That way, the gossip about her that had begun to spark in society that would shatter her dignity and virtue would be extinguished.
Therefore, when her son just gave her this kind of question, she could not do anything but try to be impartial. But how could she do that without being biased towards one party? Madam Viona, who had never been in this sort of situation, mulled over the response she should give.
