A playful chuckle escaped my lips as I continued, "I mean, she was very beautiful, just like you. So, naturally, I find similarities."

I watched their faces closely, hoping to see them relax upon hearing my explanation.

Their expressions softened, and Blair couldn't help but tease, "You're quite the charmer, Prince." Her playful tone echoed through the air, and I couldn't help but smile at her comment.

"Tell me something new, Princess!" I replied, joining in the lighthearted banter.

Interrupting our playful exchange, I turned my attention directly to Princess Blair, my tone taking on a more serious note.

"Princess Blair, if you don't mind, I want to take your friend on a coffee date," I asked bluntly, my intentions clear. I didn't believe in wasting time when I knew what I wanted.

Blair responded dramatically, adding a touch of theatrical flair to her words.

"You have my permission if Selena is okay," she declared, giving her consent with a flourish.

"No!" Selena's initial reaction was panic, glaring at her friend, causing a smirk to form on my lips.

I knew it wouldn't be easy to sway her. Then she stammered, trying to cover up her blunt refusal of my offer, "I mean, we have to return to the pack house quickly before I get into trouble for not doing my duties."

"Come on, Selena. I already told Avery that you'd be with me," Blair said, rolling her eyes at her friend's excuses, exasperated by Selena's overthinking.

Selena attempted to reason, her voice laced with worry, "But the Matron will be angry."

Her concern for the consequences was evident, causing a slight frown to crease my brow.

Blair argued, "You think too much."

"Okay, how about I accompany you while you girls shop?" Seeking a compromise, I suggested an alternative plan, hoping to find a middle ground that would put Selena at ease. I just want to spend more time with her.

Selena's gaze shifted between Blair and me, silently communicating her thoughts. After a brief moment of contemplation, she finally agreed, her eyes meeting Blair's in a wordless understanding. "Okay."

She still looked restless.

Just spend some more time with me, sweetheart, and you will know the reason for your restlessness.

As we strolled across the busy street, Blair's eyes lit up with excitement as she stopped at every shop, scanning for something that caught her attention. I couldn't help but frown when I noticed Selena refraining from buying anything, her expression slightly distant.

Taking a moment, I decided to strike up a small talk with her, hoping to make her comfortable with me. Our conversation flowed effortlessly, and I found myself enjoying her presence. Her eyes glowed as she talked. Her hands moved to add more allure to her words. Everything she did was so enchanting.

Then, amidst the myriad of trinkets and accessories, a beautiful jade bracelet caught my attention. Its intricate design and vibrant green hue seemed to be the perfect match for Selena's elegance.

"This is so beautiful," I whispered, my gaze fixed on the bracelet. "It will look even more beautiful if you wear it, goddess."

Selena's eyes widened at my words, a mixture of surprise and uncertainty flashing across her face.
