He hadn't met the others and might find them more to his liking, but right now Juliette was having fun. There was nothing serious about their flirting and his attentions. It was just nice to have some male attention without competing with her sisters for it. And knowing that he found her attractive only added to her enjoyment. Now that she was starting to accept being an adult, being a woman, the youngest Deveraux princess started to understand the power that came with it. And that was what Nicolette had been trying to teach her for a while.
She grinned at him. "Or if it opens at all. Certain restaurants require reservations and special circumstances, don't you agree? They can't open for just anyone or without a good reason, Lord Nicholas. Then the menu wouldn't be appreciated as much, and then anyone could enjoy it... and that takes away appeal." What a strange, silly conversation this was!
Oh yes, timing, that thing she hadn't quite figured out yet. If Juliette had any, it was typically bad timing, showing up at the worst or most inconvenient time so far. That didn't worry her very much, but he was right - they weren't really alone and wouldn't be, even once they got back to Bordelaix. Both of them being who they were meant guards would always be there, or chaperones. "That's a very nice idea, Lord Nicholas, but realistically, will it happen? In order to be truly alone, it would take careful arranging, and a lot of sneaking. Both of us would probably find it very challenging, maybe almost impossible to make it happen. But it might be worth it," she added with a sly smile.
Seeing how he reacted to her compliments to his sister, Juliette smiled a little. "Then I will get to know her. You are very different people, from what I have observed, but that could be a good thing. I don't have any brothers, but having plenty of sisters, I know how they think. It will be interesting to see how Lady Kathryn and my sister Antoinette get on." Especially since Juliette didn't get on with her second sister at all!
