Chapter 844: You’d be disappointed

[ FLASHBACK ]

"He asked my hand for marriage…." Aries's voice shook, turning her head in her brother's direction. Davien was standing in front of the window with his back facing her while sitting on the divan in the prince's palace sitting room. 

Aries stood from her seat. "Despite my refusal, he still went to Father to ask for his permission. Davien, I refuse this proposal."

"I know." Davien slowly turned around to face his sister. As soon as his eyes met hers, all he saw was the desperation and hopelessness in her eyes. 

He walked towards her and stopped when he stood in front of her. Davien placed his hands on her shoulders, squeezing them mildly.
