I Will Change My Destiny

Prince Theron did not stop her as he stayed back in the gazebo. He knew she needed some space. Since she was trying to run away from him, he would let her go. He didn't wish to force his feelings on her and he was content with the fact she was not completely pushing him away. 

Prince Theron watched her retreating back with a sombre mood. He wanted to accompany her like a gentleman, but if it was found out that he escorted her back to the Queen's residence, there would have been gossip about Esther. Being the Crown Prince, it would not affect his image much, but things would be terrible for her, a new member of the nobility. People's eyes were already on her due to the King's announcement, and he did not want her to be further subjected to harsh palace gossip.
