Chapter 1034:

Elyse looked puzzled. “How did you know about that?”

A smirk crossed Louise’s face. “He asked me last night to help him pick out an outfit for the date. How could I not be aware?”

Elyse replied, “You really don’t need to assist someone who might be your rival in love.”

“I’m a princess. What does a potential rival in love matter to me? I can still win. Besides, it’s hard not to feel sorry for you, looking as miserable as you do,” Louise said, lifting her chin proudly.

Stunned, Elyse’s mouth fell open slightly. “Thank you,” she muttered.

Louise felt slightly uncomfortable with Elyse’s gratitude but not displeased. She cleared her throat and instructed, “After you’ve got the ice, come to my room.”

Elyse nodded, watching as Louise ascended the stairs. She waited in the living room until the butler returned with the ice pack and a glass of hangover remedy.

“Miss Lloyd, even when happy, you should look after yourself. Your face has swollen, and it’s dimmed your beauty,” the butler said sincerely.

Elyse nodded, slightly embarrassed. “Thanks for your care. I assure you, it won’t happen again.”

She quickly finished the drink, took the ice pack, and made her way upstairs. Once upstairs, she went to find Louise.

Louise opened the door and huffed, “Come in.” Elyse nodded and entered.

“Just a second. I have so many things I need to find,” Louise said, rummaging through her belongings.

“Take your time. I’m not in a hurry.” Elyse observed Louise, noticing her ears had turned red. What could be making her embarrassed?

Elyse patiently watched as Louise rummaged through her room. After a hectic search, Louise found an eye mask from a heap of assorted items. Handing it over, she adopted a mock-arrogant tone. “Here, take this! Don’t thank me too much. I’m just showing you some pity.”

While speaking, she sneakily observed Elyse’s reaction.

Elyse suppressed a chuckle and replied, “Thank you, Louise. You’re indeed the kindest and most beautiful princess I’ve ever known.”

Louise was genuinely moved by these words. With her hands on her hips and a playful huff, she said, “Don’t lay it on too thick. As a princess, I must assist.”

“Thank you. That’s very generous of you. I’ll head back to my room now,” Elyse said as she stood up to leave. But Louise gently pushed her back down into the chair.

Under Elyse’s confused look, Louise self-consciously touched her own face and asked, “Why were you crying? Did Edward upset you?”

Elyse, slightly taken aback, shook her head. “It’s not about Edward. It’s something else that made me upset.”
