[color=4C93C2]“And let us not forget, Duke, that while you so freely label my son a ‘bastard,’ you have long played the role of father to an orphan girl who isn’t even your own flesh and blood. Yet, I don’t see you making that fact public at every opportunity. Perhaps, out of respect for her, you should refrain from using such terms when speaking of a man who carries my lineage.”[/color]

Olivia’s head whipped to the side upon hearing the tussle between the nobles. Her gaze slid into slits, as if she were imitating a snake. [color=4C93C2][i]Orphan/[/i][/color] The word repeated in her mind over and over like a tape she couldn’t cut off. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, and a snarl nearly escaped her. Her gaze moved between Lorenzo, Charlotte, Casisus, and Calbert, but she sought not to intervene publicly. 

No, she had bigger plans, and one she’d address later when there were more attendees. She took deep breaths and steadied her temper. She knew it would be fruitless,  and Lorenzo had stood up for her already. The situation deescalated, thankfully, but Olivia promised not to let it go. She turned back to the party and took deep breaths.

Olivia’s smile brightened upon seeing Zarai’s. A flutter in her chest caused her to pause. It was as if she were back on the rollercoaster. She took a deep breath and ignored it. She swiftly sat beside Zarai and nodded empathetically. [color=lightpink]”Dear me, you know how to run a party, don’t you? Food is the number one key to enjoying one, after all. No issues here,”[/color] 

She giggled and grinned back mischievously. Her voice lowered to a whisper. [color=lightpink]”Yeah that was fuckin’ awesome, one of the best nights of my life.”[/color] Then, she grinned and nodded in agreement. [color=lightpink]”All the food was delicious. Ugh! I wish I could bring some home with me.”[/color]

A familiar voice greeted her next. She raised her gaze and grinned when she recognized Shehzade Farim. [color=lightpink]”Well well well, aren’t we lucky? Long time to see!”[/color] Olivia stood up with Zarai and bowed as well, then paused, because she noticed Princess Anastasia. Her voice caught in her throat. Oh Gods. What did she say? What did she do? She smiled politely at her, and noticed her heart skipped a beat. She wtatched the familiarity between Zarai and her and took a deep breath. [color=lightpink]”H-h-honoured to meet you, Princess An… Anastasia!”[/color] Amusement sparkled in her eyes watching her sit on Farim’s lap

As the Princes spoke, her cheeks flushed deeper than her hair color. [color=lightpink]”Oh, I thought you’d never ask,”[/color] Olivia quipped back and leaned over with her trademark mischievous smile. [color=lightpink]”But only if I can touch your hair! It’s beautiful.”[/color] 

Laughter bubbled inside of her, but caught once she noticed Ryn. Her smile returned and she greeted him politely with a bow as well. His words and emphasis on her name caused her to narrow her eyes briefly. [color=lightpink]”It’s nice to see you too,”[/color] She replied courteously and nodded in response to his question. 

As he greeted Zarai, she watched closely. Something inside of her growled, but she didn’t react. Thankfully, Charlie’s voice interrupted her train of thought. She turned and grinned broadly. [color=lightpink]”Well hello stranger,”[/color] Olivia greeted, and hugged her back. Her gaze moved to Cassius and the arrangement of his arms, and she frowned at him. [color=lightpink][i]What is this man doing with Charlie?[/i][/color] She looked at him with concern. Since this was public, Olivia held her tongue, and nodded to Charlie. 

[color=lightpink]”We’ll be here!”[/color] Olivia waved and turned back to her table. [/color]
