Later that night,
Adonis sneakily slipped into the Royal Dormitory.
His intention was clear as day: to meet Mariana as promised.
However, once he arrived before Mariana's luxurious dormitory room, he heard voices from inside.
It sounded like she was talking with another man.
Adonis wasn't the type to become overly suspicious of his partners, but just to be sure, he leaned closer to the wooden door to listen.
"Maria, why did you do that during the competition?"
"Prince Devon, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't act so dumb, Maria. Why did you let that lowly bastard touch you? You should know that you, as a proud member of the Magnus family and the sole fiancée of me, Devon Engord Virthrox, the Crown Prince of the Gratis Kingdom, cannot allow yourself to be stained by that inferior breed's touch. Look at yourself, so beautiful, so noble. And him? He is just an outcast from a lesser Duke's family.
