EXCUSE 1, EXCUSE 2

Elennora shouldn't have been surprised when he heard his mother's firm statement. It was not the first time he had heard his mother insist that he could not marry anyone because he would become the Queen of Grinia in the future.

The first time he heard that statement was on the day of the Crown Princess's ceremony, and back then, he was also shocked by what his mother said in front of the Kings from other kingdoms.

Everyone was stunned, he was astounded, but he didn't feel this pain at the time. The feeling was different from now when it felt like his mother had just pinched his soft skin with her long, sharp nails.

For some reason, Elennora was hurt when he heard his mother's resolute decision, and when he glanced at Levan who was still standing beside him, he was surprised that the man's expression was stiff and stern. It was as if the Crown Prince of Wrelloven wanted to eat people alive.
