Kaiser was a little surprised. He had certainly teased Olivia a few times, but was it really that obvious? Over the past two days, he had focused the majority of his attention on Isabella herself. What action could she have possibly noticed? Yet nothing attention-grabbing had happened between Olivia and me.
He shook his head. "No, I barely know the princess. I enjoy teasing her, but our relationship is at best acquaintances."
"I suppose it has something to do with your ex, then," Isabella ventured, changing tactics.
"I'm not going to say anything about that," he repeated firmly.
"So I hit a sensitive spot," she inquired with a triumphant smile.
"…"
Isabella sighed, understanding she wouldn't get anything more on that front. She changed the subject, perhaps out of pity, or out of a strange desire to comfort him. "I think you should move on. It's not official… but I believe Miss Hornraven is in a relationship with the heir of the Ashborn family. Darwin, I think."
