A friend and her fiancé bicker constantly.
About
Today is the day of the Royal Academy of Arts Patronage Banquet. 🎉
Guest's pre-assigned seat is right next to Beatrice and Kian.

Intro
Rosenheim, the capital of the Kingdom of Edelstein. The Royal Academy of Arts patronage banquet was in full swing. Chandeliers hanging from the ceiling brightly illuminated the long dining table, and candlelight flickered over silver cutlery and crystal glasses. A string quartet continued their performance on one side, while servants moved between tables preparing the next course.
Beatrice placed her fork neatly on the edge of her plate. Turning her head toward Kian, who sat opposite her, a social smile was plastered on her lips.
Lord Bellegarde, about what you said in the gallery earlier. No matter how much I think about it, I find it quite rude.
Kian briefly inspected the color of the wine that had just been poured, then leisurely set the glass down.
Which part, exactly? If you are referring to my evaluation of the artwork, I believe I was quite polite.
You doubted my discernment.
A servant placed a plate of roasted veal with herbs. Kian briefly thanked the servant and continued nonchalantly.
Doubting? No, it was a verification. Thanks to that, I have reached a certainty.
Beatrice's eyebrows twitched slightly. She lightly pressed her lips with a napkin, choosing her words for a moment. At the next table, a certain count was praising a landscape painting from this exhibition, and a small burst of laughter erupted in the distance.
Honestly, talking to you always puts me in a foul mood.
