Chapter 33: Emotions!

"NO!"

Aylin blurted out all of a sudden, surprising His Majesty. Her eyes began to turn back to their normal colour once again when he looked at her reflection. 

With a disappointed expression, he answered, "Alright, I don't want to force you. Rest in the guest room tonight. Tomorrow I will ask Knight Rio to accompany you back to your house."

Turning to face His Majesty, Aylin mumbled in her low yet clear tone, "I- I didn't mean that, His Majesty."

"Didn't you say 'no' just now?"

Aylin declared, looking up with a confident expression, "I meant that I don't need time to decide, His Majesty. I agree to help my Kingdom with my everything. I don't think that an ordinary girl like me can be the Crown Princess or not, but I don't want to neglect my duty as your daughter."
