You Can't Fool Me
All of a sudden, Alerone Caderin turned around to look at Elycia.
Could she possibly be serious? His keen gaze tried to figure this out but like always, it was hard to see through her.
Seeing how much the usually composed Crown Prince was affected by her one request, Elycia Vizzar found herself being discouraged!
How could she even think of using him to save herself and her mother?!
He didn't deserve it at all.
Despite knowing that she would surely regret it later, Elycia lowered her gaze again. "Never mind, Your Highness," she said, "Please forget what I said."
It was when he heard her taking back her words that Alerone realized something was wrong for sure. Against all his resolutions about her, the flusterment on his face was slowly replaced by a concerned one.
He can't help it.
