Rumours About The King

Odette looked at Trish intently, doubting her own ears.

“You said... you’re sure because your heart doesn’t beat fast when you are around her?”

Trish didn’t say anything, and Odette laughed it off. This made Trish look at the queen questioningly.

“That’s ridiculous,” said Odette. “How could you use that to conclude whether you like her or not?”

“The king said that to me.”

“Huh?” Odette was stunned again. “Rion?”

Trish, who was innocent, believed Rion’s answer.

"Your Majesty, how do we know we are in love with someone?"

“Your heart beats faster when you’re around her.”

Rion’s answer wasn’t wrong, but it couldn’t be used as a parameter.

“So you’re pretty sure you don’t love her because your heart doesn’t beat faster when you’re around her?” Odette asked.

Trish nodded slowly.

Odette shook her head. “Right now, my heart doesn’t beat faster when I’m close to Rion. Does that mean I don’t love him anymore? No, that’s because I’m used to his presence.”
