Ren came by appearing suddenly inside the room. It makes everyone into an uproar. His appearance made everyone alert and prepared with attacking positions, especially Duke.
The Duke grew even more furious when he saw his wife embracing Ren affectionately and crying. She was also shocked and thought that Diana was having an affair. Until he finally finds out Ren's true identity, and his anger fades a little.

"Ren, I didn't know that you were teaching at the academy" Diana said. "Um, or maybe I forgot her too" She doesn't remember Eva ever telling me about it or not.
"Yes, I taught there for a few years"
"In that case, why don't you meet me!" diana said pouting. "You only see me when you want to take my blood, humph!"
"I'm sorry" Ren said.
TUBS! Duke hit the table with his fist. His face twitched as he looked at Diana and Ren's interaction. How could they behave like that? It was as if they were old lovers who had not met for a long time. She doesn't like it.
"Can you stop talking? This is the dining table, we're going to eat now. Not chatting" He nagged. But strangely she did not direct her gaze at Diana, but at Ren.
So Ren answered politely. "I'm sorry, Duke"
"Can we start eating now?" i asked. Enough with all the conflict. My stomach is hungry now. Can you guys save the fight for later?
The Duke nodded without answering anything.
Finally, they could all eat without any interruption.
"It feels so good" Denis praised as he looked at Eva. It was as if she was directing her praise at Eva.
"Vivian who cooks. I was just helping cut onions" I replied coldly. Thas right. This is Vivian's cooking. How can you say as if I cooked it.
Denis fell silent after hearing his answer.
"Cutting onions is also a good skill" Sayn continued later.
"Thank you" I said flatly.
Denis looked straight at Sayn with a frown. "I heard you were from Kano?" denis asked politely, but her voice was very cold.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I am a prince" Sayn replied. He wanted to emphasize the word prince so that Denis would not underestimate his status.
"Oh? To be honest I don't really know the other princes of Kano country. Only the crown prince is visible" Denis said. His words stated that Sayn was a useless prince, only the crown prince was useful from that kingdom.
Eventually the two men looked at each other sharply to show their hostility. There was even an aura of lightning behind them.
"Good food. Good job Vivian, Eva" said Robert. Robert's words made the two men stare at him. But Robert didn't care. He thinks Denis and Sayn are like stupid kids who can't control their emotions. He wouldn't be that kind of person.
"Thank you" Vivian replied in embarrassment.
I also said "Thank you"
"Good food. But I can cook better" Ren opened his voice and muddied the atmosphere. "This one's a little salty, it's a little bland, it's a little sweet" she began to point to her criticized food. Ease she looked at Eva and asked innocently, "Isn't my food better? Do you eat it often?"
Uhuk!
I almost choked on the rice as she started carrying my name. "It's delicious." I replied awkwardly.
"You eat together often?" ask Diana. Adding oil to the fire made everyone look at Eva.
"Not often. Every now and then" I answered quickly.
"He always eats at my house. We always read together" Ren said ambiguously.
"Ren's house? You guys got that close in no time?" diana said, she was a little jealous. Ren never cooked for her. Although they had lived together in the past, Ren had only given him market cooking. And moreover, it took a long time to take away her heart, because she had always been Ren's bulian material. But Diana felt a little pride in her heart, as her daughter managed to attract Ren's attention.
I glared at Ren. His words could make others misunderstand! We're not close at all. And obviously that guy always kidnaps me!
"We're not that close"
Denis then coughed a little. Talks about Ren and Eva were cut off. Denis put his spoon and fork on the plate, he's done his dinner.
"I also want to take you to the kingdom of Kano" Sayn suddenly cut off Denis. He doesn't want to lose. Somehow she'll never let Eva answer "yes" to Denis's call.
"Don't you say Kano is pretty beautiful? The time we spent was not enough at that time. So I really wanted to take you there" she also wanted to take Eva to her hideout and talk about her mother's murder. But of course he couldn't tell that so blatantly here.
"Uh..."
I looked at the two with doubt. It's not that I don't want to. I just have plans for the holidays.
"The old man misses you too. I hope you want to visit the Magic Tower" Robert suddenly spoke, not to lose.
I can't speak now. It's not good to refuse them actually. More precisely I did not find the right words to reject them in my head.
"Eva can't accept your call. He will be with me during the holidays" Ren replied confidently with his innocent expression.
The other three men instantly froze for a moment and looked at Ren.
"He'll be with me during the holidays. So it was a waste" Ren smiled. I don't know why Ren's happy now. It was as if he had won something and made her very satisfied.
Diana watched everything while chopping her chin with both hands. He found the show at the dinner table very interesting.
'The three boys...' Diana thought of something while letting out a small smile on her lips. Then he looked at Ren while frowning confusedly. 'But I wouldn't have expected that Ren would also be interested...'
"My mom and I are going to visit somewhere with Ren" I added.
Hearing the word "Mother" from Eva's mouth made the three men sigh in relief. But just as the three men had already begun to be relieved, the Duke glared in shock.
'What was the plan of his wife and daughter with the criminal? Until they have to be together?' thought Duke tensely.
"What are you guys gonna do?" The Duke looked at his wife and daughter with a cold face.
I actually wanted to answer 'meet grandma'. But Diana was ahead of me.
"Secret" Diana said as she blinked her eyes at the Duke. Makes the Duke's entire body tremble furiously.
"Stop joking!" the Duke was not happy.
"Humph!" Diana turned her face, pouting. "I won't tell you that you keep seeing me with that face!" diana protests.
Wait, whoa. Don't fight here okay. I don't want to have a husband-and-wife fight here at all.
But the quarrel I was expecting did not happen. Duke has relented.
"I wouldn't. So tell me" her gaze softened.
"OK, I'll tell you later tonight~" Diana responded. The atmosphere returned clear.
Finally the heavy dinner was over. Denis and Sayn go home first. I drove the two men to the exit.
Diana enthusiastically pulled Ren's hand and took him somewhere. Duke died with a bad face. While Robert was still accompanying the Duke at the dining table, while sipping his tea gracefully.
Before getting into her carriage, Denis turned around and looked at Eva. "I'm sorry" he said with a sorry face. "See you later" she immediately turned away, not letting Eva return her words.
"What's going on? You guys quarreling?" ask Sayn. But inwardly, he was very happy with this incident.
"No. It was just a misunderstanding" I replied unconcernedly. Denis apologized? I won't care anymore okay. Even though he would yell at me or blame me again, I had already mentally prepared for it.
"I want to ask you something. Are you really close to Reina? Or do you want to investigate the mysterious man from the marquis house?" i asked.
"The second one" Sayn replied directly.
I expected it. "But if you get close to her, is that better?" I asked again. Actually, deep down, I was afraid that Sayn would be fascinated with Reina, then turn against me. Moreover, the man already knew the weakness of my family that was targeted by many people. If Sayn becomes an enemy, the situation will become even more precarious.
Sayn looked at Eva's worried face, then she patted her head softly while saying "Don't worry. I'll never change okay" she replied as if she knew Eva's mind. To be honest, Sayn was happy to know that Eva was worried about her.
"alright. Don't forget to be careful" I said later.
"Of course" Sayn actually wanted to tell the mission about the Duchess's murder, but she became hesitant when she saw Eva's worried face. He did not want to add any burden to the little girl. So he decided to clean up all of it himself. "See later. Enjoy your vacation" Sayn said. He smiled gently before finally disappearing.
Denis and Sayn are home. Only Robert and Ren remain in this house. It was as if it had split into two camps. Diana was currently talking to Ren, and the Duke was talking to Robert. I don't know what they're talking about. But Eva decides to approach Diana and Ren, needing to travel long distances after this.
