What Will You Choose?

Helena bid farewell as the day grew dark. Both princes accompanied Helena to the gate where Pegasus was tethered. The white horse seemed delighted to see its owner again. It had become a bit possessive after being separated from Helena for some time.

"Are you going straight back to the Duke's mansion?" Prince Lucas asked in his playful manner.

"I still have some business to attend to at the hotel," Helena replied, pretending not to be bothered by Prince Lucas's flirtatiousness.

"Don't you need an escort? I would gladly accompany you home," Prince Lucas teased again.

Helena smiled. "I appreciate your support in front of His Majesty. However, I am a married woman. Allow me to go home on my own without intending to diminish my respect for you, Your Highness."

Prince Lucas was about to tease Helena again, but Prince Maximilian's sharp gaze made him stop.
