She's Hurt
"I ... I ..." Alexa faltered as she looked at Klaus' eyes raised to her. The princess didn't understand everything she believed she saw in them.
"Is it so difficult to answer? You had no problem in answering when I asked you if you really wanted to marry Sir Blackrose..."
"Aaahhgh! Why would I have?! It was what I wanted! He and I had a nice deal. He was a kind person who treated me with respect. He was considerate and demanded nothing of me. On the contrary! I've never met such a generous person! And when he asked me to marry him, he fulfilled everything a woman could want from her future husband!"
"Why, how perfect! I'd marry him myself..." muttered the Prince, averting his eyes.
