Tristanâs face turned even redder at my laughter. Did he really not think of that?
âHahahaha!â
ââ¦Youâre laughing too much.â
âItâs justâYour Highness, someone as intelligent as youâah, itâs just too funny that you really didnât consider that.â
âI appreciate that you at least acknowledge my intelligence.â
âYou were intelligent. Iâm not sure how my evaluation will change after today.â
âKhmmâ¦â
Tristan fanned his face with his hand. I handed him my retrieved hat, and he waved it around as a makeshift fanâonly to be assaulted by a spray of water droplets still clinging to it.
I probably should have apologized.
But instead, another laugh burst out of me.
Just thirty minutes ago, his hairstyle had been a perfect embodiment of effortâthe epitome of âI styled my hair today.â Now, it was completely ruined. He ruffled his damp hair in frustration before finally giving up.
âYou still look fine, Your Highness.â
âMy appearance is always fine.â@@novelbin@@
ââ¦.â
