"Princess," Phei greeted.
Jade placed her fingers in his. "Young Master, Phei."
"Careful," he said, smiling. "You will make the titles sound natural."
"Maybe they are."
"Dangerous thought."
"From what I have seen, you like dangerous things."
Phei laughed softly. "Only when they arrive beautifully princess."
Jade's smile warmed.
Across the room, Nastya Romano watched that exchange with narrowed amusement, while Gianna leaned toward her and whispered something that made Nastya grin. Natasha Sinclair, standing near Clara Moreau, had also seen it, though her expression was more thoughtful than teasing.
Yuki Tanaka noticed the watching and smirked. "Subtlety is dying in this room."
Priya Kapoor glanced toward Phei, then away, failing to hide her own interest. "Can you blame them?"
Juliette Howard sighed. "No, which is irritating."
The princesses did not crowd him.
They were not foolish.
