A new couple - I
"I thought it would take you longer."
He smiled beautifully. "I felt you needed me. So, here I am."
"You felt it?" I repeated what he said. "How?"
"It is the connection between you and me. My bloodline is quite strong. Even with my father's human blood in it. Without being bonded, I can still feel when you need me."
I see. Nodding, I turned to look in the front. My decision was premade. It was made before my talks with Irene. They were things I have to do for my country and that was something that came first even without thinking.
However, after talking to my new lady in waiting, I did realize that there may be a chance of a happy marriage. I would have not received such with Terrace, the only time we would have been intimate, would be for the production of the heirs to the throne given he already had found love with someone else. But with Tristan, it might be… different if I was willing.
