As Nicien Vamieres kept glancing at Alerone after the unexpected response, Alerone ended up chuckling. "Why are you giving me that look, cousin?"
"You can't be serious, right? That's so unlike you, Alerone," Nicien Vamieres honestly stated with confusion.
"Of course, I'm serious," Alerone responded. "The one I love will always be my first choice but if it's not possible, it's not a bad idea to marry someone who will make a great Queen." He briefly paused and added, "But it doesn't mean that I'm talking about Lady Lenora."
"You are only making me confused," Nicien sighed but Alerone simply smiled.
"Do you want to chat over some drinks?" The Crown Prince offered. "Maybe I will also need the help of that smart brain of yours."
Prince Nicien practically scoffed. "Says the one who is considered the most intelligent person in our Esriven."
Crown Prince Alerone ended up chuckling. "I will take that as a yes."
