Chapter 350 Dating?

"Oh, hello, Sister. Good morning, Miss Louise."

"Good morning, Raphael, and Iris," she said as she was entering the gazebo. "Come join us." "Thank you." Upon my invitation, Big Sis took a seat on a metal chair next to mine and adjacent to Iris. As a man, I stood up from my seat and then sliced a cake for her. "What's up, Sister? Trying to escape again?" "Yeah. Being a royal is a pain after all, especially since I am the crown princess of the queendom. Many have approached me and made proposals to me, clearly intending to take the throne, but I instantly rejected them all. Those ambitious bastards. Just because we are just a new nation, it means they could take advantage of us." "That is to expect. But we should not let ourselves down. We must show them how resilient a Raevender is." "Regardless of that matter," my sister then changed the topic. "You seem to be getting close with Iris. Every time I see you, Iris is always by your side. Are you two dating?" "What? Dating? Hanging out together does not necessarily mean dating. Iris and I are just friends." I said before turning my face to Iris. "Right, Iris." "He's right, Miss Louise. We are not exactly dating. We literally just met around a week, so we still have a lot of rooms to know about one another." "If you two say so, then I have no right to question you further. But I would not be surprised if I ever learn that you two started dating. Due to the proximity of the two of you, you two are already considered a couple." "What?" I was actually not aware that our closeness had been seen in a romantic sense. But if I were to ask, Iris was definitely a fine woman. She was kind, pretty, and had a great personality. I was a marquis, and she was the daughter of a count. I was the son of the Sword Saint and the Sage, and she came from a family that produced great court mages for generations. So there would probably not be an issue if we ever got together. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
