Sirius’ face was so gloomy as if a violent thunderstorm was about to happen. “What are you talking about, Azalea?
The King has decided for you. How can you not appreciate his kindness?”
Azalea replied, “Dad, Hayes, relationships can’t. be forced. I know what I’m doing, so don’t worry about us.”
Before Sirius could say something, Eugene beat him to it and grabbed the microphone. “Thank you for the gracious
offer, Your Highness and Sir Sirius, but Princess Azalea has already made it clear that we are just friends. It’s her
birthday banquet today and therefore, I’m only here to celebrate her birthday. Please don’t speculate anything
between us, everyone.”
Hayes smiled at that. Seeing Sirius pulling a long face, he uttered, “I understand that Sir Sirius admires Eugene, but
things that are forced never work out. The thing with relationships is that only the ones involved are clear about

Hearing that, everyone started whispering. “How desperate is Sir Sirius to be willing to sacrifice his daughter to
attract supporters?” “Sadly, his daughter betrayed him.”
“What do you mean betrayed him? Even if she wants to be engaged, Eugene might not agree to it! He’s definitely
not a pushover!” “Exactly. Perhaps he’s trying to avoid embarrassment, which is why he simply announced it
himself.”
Olivia was not in the mood to pay attention to their comments as she was watching the waiter walking toward
Hayes with the tray of wine. Currently, Hayes was speaking to Eugene. “Why didn’t you visit me first when you were
here?”
Eugene smiled in return. “Sir Sirius is very welcoming and insists that I stay to celebrate Princess Azalea’s birthday.”
“Come with me tonight. Let’s have a drink together.”
Eugene quickly agreed to him while Sirius smiled. ‘Your Highness, Eugene and Azalea are getting along well. You
can also have a drink. right here. It doesn’t matter where you have it, right?” With that said, he waved at the
waiter.
The waiter walked up to them, and just as Hayes was about to grab the wine, Olivial panicked. No matter whether
the glass would fall into Hayes or Eugene’s hands, her intuition told her that it was dangerous.
Pretending to not see the road, she bumped into a man next to her. “Ah-“Her scream attracted the attention of
everyone present.
Discreetly, she pulled one of the buttons off the man’s shirt. Her middle finger and thumb worked perfectly to flick it
toward the leg of the waiter serving wine on the stage. The sudden, sharp pain didn’t cause him to scream, but he
lurched forward due to momentum, causing the wine to spill all over. In that case, the wine on the tray couldn’t be
served anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe waiter hurriedly apologized with a trembling voice, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Your Highness, Sir Sirius. There’s a
cramp in my leg all of a sudden, making me trip.”
Furrowing his brows, Sirius held back his anger and scolded, “What’s so hard about serving? Go and get another
glass.” The waiter stepped off the stage in a hurry, limping.
Meanwhile, Eugene’s eyes stayed on Olivia. He narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but wonder who she was. Why
did she give him a sense of familiarity?
On the other hand, Olivia was supported by the man beside her. When she was about to apologize, the man spoke
first, “I’m sorry for bumping into you just now.”
She felt embarrassed as she denied, “I’m fine. It was my fault. I hope you’re alright.” With that, the man nodded
and left.
When Christoff came over, he supported her and asked, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” answered Olivia.
