Then Arial take another sip and his eyes darted off to Rhyssa. And he thought to himself
'How could God have created something so beautiful?' That is what he thought. He did not reject the marriage because he found the Empress ugly.
He rejected it in the name of love for he did not love her and she deserves better. And his heart is not ready. For a man who close his heart this deeply, it would take a divine strength to open it back up.
There is no desire in Arial heart to spoil such a beauty
Rhyssa on the other hand was far from suspecting she herself is becoming an object of some interest in Arial eyes.
The first time they meet in the ball, he concealed his shock of her beauty, the second time they met in the garden courtyard a few weeks ago, he stops his heart from beating too loudly.
But no sooner than later, he could not ignore those beautiful blue eyes, and that flowing blue hair, flowing perfectly every time she moves.
