A Message!
Unexpectedly, Alec shook his head as he gently rejected her even after she'd made such a promise to him.
Ophelia bit her lip as she was rejected yet again. Something hot started building up inside her, and she couldn't accept his refusal as an answer.
Could it be that he really didn't like her? Why not?
Then, why was he showing her these signs that gave her false hope? Was it all her wishful thinking?
Wait… he… he didn't know that she was a princess, right? But if she revealed that, what if he didn't want to be with her even more, when a mere noble had already hurt him that much?
Ophelia felt anxious and depressed.
Seeing how even her tears couldn't move him, she really didn't know what to think. But that pained look on his face… she couldn't stand it.
Ophelia felt her heart ache, and she reluctantly let go of his arm, studying his face.
