Chương 277: Violet: Nobody

Violet whirled around to look behind her, frowning when she saw two young boys. She quickly recognised them as the two youngest Devon princes: William and Thomas.

"What do you seek, my little lords?" She tried not to make her voice sound snappish but she had no interest in entertaining children either.

"My cousin Tom here would like to ask you to dance, my lady." Prince William explained. "He's a bit shy though, so I said I'd keep him company while he asked you."

"Really. And why would you want to dance with me instead of being off somewhere playing with your toys and making mischief?" Violet looked at Prince Thomas in the face.

The boy's cheeks turned pink and he looked down at his feet. "Will and I promised our fathers we'd be on our very best behaviour tonight and not cause any trouble." he mumbled.
