186 As long as they're together

Silence filled the room while Clayton Howard stared at his brother when he confessed that he loved someone that he should not love.

He did not understand when the Crown Prince told him that he understood how he felt, but to think that he would tell him a secret, he never knew a day like this would come.

Was it an older lady? A commoner? A servant? Clayton tried to guess what he meant by 'should not love', but these were only guesses. He suddenly remembered Vanessa Lanstone, 'Is it related to her?' he thought.

Cadell must have wanted the Crown Prince and Vanessa together, but Charles is in love with someone else, it was another assumption of his. "Who is this lady you are referring to?" he asked.

Chance looked at him and there was a slight smile on his face, he lowered his gaze, "It is not…"

Clayton could not hear him well, "What did you say?"

"It is not a woman."
