“Then, do you like me?” (Reynsis)

“Your Highness, no one hates you in this Palace —” (Prim)

“I’m not talking about everyone. I want to hear what you think of me.” (Reynsis)

“Y-you’re too close, Your Highness!” (Prim)

Only then, did his face stop leaning towards her, but he was still not satisfied and spoke again.

“You said that he’s two years younger, right?” (Reynsis)

“Yes..” (Prim)

“What is your opinion about that?” (Reynsis)

“Excuse me?” (Prim)

“The age difference between the two lovers.” (Reynsis)

“Umm.. I think that Lise is just fine being on her own.” (Prim)

[

The worries that filled Prim’s mind disappeared more easily than she thought.

When Reynsis returned, he said that the Emperor didn’t ask him for anything out of the ordinary.

He definitely asked the Prince’s something, but Reynsis didn’t say anything to her. She was curious.

Then out of nowhere, Reynsis blurted out how he loves it when her eyes sparkle like a beautiful light when she’s happy. 1

She was upset and embarrassed.

“You’re cheeky, aren’t you? So in conclusion, nothing happened? You just said that your eyes got better overnight? You really said that?” (Prim)

Prim got even more upset. If she was fearless enough, she really wanted to barge into the throne room and question the Emperor herself.

Then, Reynsis put his head on her neck from behind. 1

She felt a sigh and a hot breath on her right ear. It was a sigh of relief mixed with irritation. 1

“Now.. calm down.” Reynsis murmured silently. She was already calm.

“Are you alright?” Prim asked gently.

No matter how upset she was, it could not be compared to what Reynsis went through.

“Are you worried about me?” (Reynsis)

He turned her to face him slowly as he put their foreheads together, and stared in those black midnight eyes.
