Chapter 495: Do You Like Me?

Song recommendation- Too good at goodbyes by Sam Smith

---

Without uttering a word, Oriana read the scroll that declared her betrothal to the Crown Prince of Griven, Arlan Cromwell. After contemplating it for a moment, she carefully rolled the scroll back into the wooden box and returned it to the drawer, restoring everything to its original state. Closing the cupboard, she turned around, her thoughts appearing conflicted.

Yorian approached her, positioning himself to face her, and gently reached for her face, coaxing her to look at him. When her hazel eyes met his, he offered, "Would you like to go far away from here with me, Oriana?" When he said her name, there was a distinct depth to it. He continued, "I will always by your side. I will ensure nothing troubles you ever, and you can live your life in peace, the life of freedom that you have always wanted for yourself. No one will ever bother you."
