The cupid playing his role

Aries bore a blank expression, lost for words at her current situation. She blinked, looking back at the people around the same table as her. 

'Please don't look at me that way. You all know I am innocent,' she wept internally, sensing everyone's discomfort inside this room where noblemen with an official role in the palace gathered. She had already heard ridiculous rumors when she started accompanying Abel to his important affairs. 

But... Abel took this to another level. 

Aries let out a shallow breath when she felt a weight on her shoulder. She glanced at it, seeing Abel rest his chin on it. 

'Just... what the hell is he thinking? Why is he doing this to me?' she wondered, suppressing her urge to throw a huge fit out of stress.
