Chapter 595
Chapter 595:
“Trying to sneak off without us?” he added, turning to me. “I won’t let that happen.”
Clayton gently pinched my cheek and said, “I heard you were going for a picnic today, so I came to join you. I brought your favorite food.” He then shook the basket he was holding.
Before I could show my delight, Dominic interjected through clenched teeth, “You guys are well-informed, aren’t you?”
“Nothing gets past me in the palace. Unlike you,” Bryan said sarcastically.
Seeing that they were about to fight, I quickly said, “Stop it, both of you. Since you’re all here, let’s go together. The more, the merrier.”
Dominic turned away, clearly displeased. “Why should we bring them along on our date?” he muttered.
I tugged at his sleeve and said, “Don’t be upset, Prince Dominic. It will be more lively if we all go out together. Do this for me, please.”
Finally, Dominic agreed, and we set off for the countryside together.
Soon we arrived at our destination and searched for a spot to sit.
We settled on a patch of green grass.
Pointing to a barely visible manor in the distance, Dominic said, “That is my fief, Makenna. If you get tired, we can go there so you can rest in my manor.”
I was about to express my thanks when Bryan interrupted.
“You call that nice? My place has a far more scenic view. Yours doesn’t even compare,” he mocked.
Dominic’s face darkened in anger at Bryan’s comment. Clayton then chimed in, saying, “My father gifted me a fief that boasts the best scenery in the wolf pack. It’s truly breathtaking. You should visit sometime. I guarantee you wouldn’t want to leave once you’re there.”
Upon hearing this, I had a feeling of foreboding. I knew they were about to argue again.
Your storytelling begins at g αℓ ησ ν𝓮 𝓁s, com
Sure enough, Bryan immediately turned to Clayton upon hearing this.
He looked even more disdainful than before as he said, “How good can your fief be? Yours is nothing but an empty boast.”
Dominic joined in as well. “Everyone knows my fief is top-notch. It’s far from the worst when it comes to scenery.”
“Enough arguing. Come help me set up the picnic blanket and dish out the food,” I said, trying to break the tension.
After several urgings on my part, I finally managed to get them to help. Although they still bickered, at least they were working.
It took quite some time, but eventually everything was set up.
I plopped down on the picnic blanket with a long sigh.
It didn’t feel like a picnic anymore. It was even more exhausting than being in the palace. Dealing with their constant squabbling wore me out.
I poured a cup of juice for myself. Seeing that Clayton was seated closest to me, I poured him a cup as well. The other two were not pleased.
“Why didn’t you pour me a drink first?” Bryan demanded.
“Although I hate to agree with Bryan, he’s right. Why are you only thinking of Clayton?” Dominic added.
“You misunderstand me. Prince Clayton was simply closer to me. That’s why I poured him a drink first.”
Clayton’s cheerful expression darkened at my words. “Is that the only reason? I thought I was special to you,” he said, disappointment lacing his tone.
