"Elliana," Aditya stepped forward towards her, but she flinched away from him, making him stop and look at her with sadness in his eyes.

All those bandages on her body and her excuses about getting those wounds because of falling in the forest and stairs and being a klutz... everything felt like a big fat lie.

Elliana held Lucas's hand tighter, making the subordinate's lips tremble as he looked at his prince, who was looking at the Princess breaking down in front of him with a stoic expression.
