"Yes, however, I was told that he is still in the student council ht now, as it is nearing noon, I suggest we go have our lunch" Duke Simoun replied
Celine shook her head as she said "No, let us wait for Leonard first, perhaps they are done by now By the way, I heard that the crown prince is their president Should we invite hi that she wanted to hter's fiancé
"I don't think that that is proper Although they are set to be married in the future, it is still not time to meet the parents yet"
"Then how about we invite hi to meet Leonard's friends I heard that he has been close with the crown prince, the 2nd prince of Alighieri, and the son of the Duke of Suffox"

"H that you liked him"
"What can I do? It's the truth!" Celine answered Si maiden's admiration You're the one I married and the man I love"
"Fine But I doubt that they can join us at such short notice It's almost noon now"
"All the better" Celine said while thinking 'At least this way, I can see the crown prince's sincerity tothe other two are just for pretense I don't really expect thereed as he called Thoe to tell Leonard that hisfor lunch
