Lady Avalour lifted her dress as she bowed, her eyes staring at Lucien.
Her lips parted, and she said, "Greetings, Duke. I am the Princess of Avalour, and I am here to perform."
Ivy, watching from where she sat beside Lucien, glanced at him slightly to see his reaction as Lady Avalour spoke to him.
Her brows furrowed when she saw the interest in his eyes. She couldn't help but think in her heart—Lucien…
The plot was working on him. He seemed to be liking Lady Avalour, just as the system had warned.
The system jumped into her mind and said,
"Look at you, gawking at the villain like a lovesick idiot. Don't stare too much at him! Your mission is to stop Lady Avalour from seducing the villain. That is your goal—you shouldn't forget it."
Ivy gave a faint nod to what the system said before standing and controlling herself from looking at Lucien.
