792 Laughing with tears

Melody's voice rung clearly and echoed throughout the public square.

Her voice was mellow and gentle.

Yet her 'no' seemed to be infused with martial might as it stamped down resolutely and firmly.

In this instant, the crowd was silenced.

The earlier romantic ambience and tender sentiments vanished completely with a single word.

Sheyan stood rooted to the ground in a distant place. His body turning stiff as his mind vacant.

He felt she was reserved, knowing the answer in her heart but embarrassed to say it.

That was because he failed to notice Melody's gaze. That warm, peaceful, serene and determined gaze. Would there be any space for bashfulness to enter?

Bluntly phrased, the noble status of Prince Legolas coupled with his dashing looks, really left her incapable of saying no after painstakingly creating this grand romantic occasion.
