CHAPTER 72 (2) - Because I am in Love with You!

As Petronilla slightly turned her head and looked at the side, she found Rothesay staring at her as if he was looking at a child. Petronilla felt burdened by those affection-filled eyes, and asked, "What… what is it?"

"I can clearly see through my Lady's shallow intentions."

"It is so cute."

"… It is not the right response to that, is it not?"

"Until my Lady gives permission, I will not give up on my heart. I swear on this, too."

"Why?" Petronilla asked in a bit of a sad voice. "Why do you have to do that, to such an extent?"

"The answer is simple, Lady Petronilla," Rossy confessed to her with a gentle smile. "Because I am in love with my Lady."
