Upon arriving at the Rizz Residence, Chuck's face instantly paled.
Lined up on both sides of the path were the family's countless servants, and waiting at the front doors was the Duke himself with his hands clasped behind his back.
The mere presence of the man was enough to make Chuck lose his flamboyant attitude. He became as quiet as a mouse.
Princess Xenia took that moment to reach out to hold his hand and gave it a light squeeze.
"I'm here, so you have nothing to worry about," Princess Xenia said. "Hold up your head and greet your father properly later."
Mary also reached out to hold Chuck's other hand and gave it a light squeeze, showing her support as well.
Alex smiled faintly after seeing this scene. No matter how much of a troublemaker Chuck was, the feelings the princess and her maid had for him were real.
"Thank you, Xenia, Mary," Chuck replied.
