Chapter 32

[earlynotes. 2

He just has to wait for a year and a half. After that long wait, he will become an adult.

The thought of it made him feel impatient.

Of course there will be some obstacles that he has to go through.

“…Next week.”

Reynsis mumbled silently. He was referring to the day he will be going back to the Imperial Palace.

Prim nodded. Realizing that he couldn’t see her reaction, her lips trembled.

“Yes. Times really fly so fast. The winter will end soon, and fall is approaching.” (Prim)

“When… we go… to the Imperial Palace….”

Reynsis lengthened his words as Prim waited for him to finish. But he shut his mouth again.

Prim was a bit upset.

How would he react once he returned to the place where he was abandoned? He was starving for love and felt pathetic at that time.

She felt sorry for the young boy who leaned on her like a lost puppy.

Maybe that is why she was worrying about him. Prim raised her hand and unconsciously stroked his platinum blonde hair.

“…..”

Reynsis was surprised as their eyes suddenly met. Prim quickly put away her hand.

“Oh! I am deeply sorry, Your Highness. My hands —”

Prim excuses didn’t last long as Reynsis suddenly held her slender hand. The cold fingers were intertwined between hers, again.

“Do it again.” 1

“H-how dare I —”

“Do it for me. Your hands feel warm..” 2

Prim was a bit hesitant seeing his tired expression. Of course it was her who reached out first. But she was a commoner who dared to touch the Prince’s hair.

When he saw her hesitation, he urged her some more.

“Huh..?” (Prim)

“That is enough, Your High —” (Prim)

“You don’t want to..?” (Reynsis)

Reynsis blinked his eyes slowly as if he wanted to look disappointed.
