"Is it difficult to give me an answer? Is it difficult for me to interpret the attention you have given all this time!" Helena's eyes filled with tears. Her chest felt tight, so she took several deep breaths.
"Hah...!" Louis violently rebuffed Helena's hand. "Well.., you insist, and you want to know the real answer, right?" pointed Louis at Helena's face.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Helena asked.
