Chapter 280: My safe place

"Can I sit first, Your Highness?"

Asteria queried with an awkward smile tugged at her lips. Asking for permit from the Crown Prince like a servant. "Oh yes, go ahead" In realization, the man allowed. Pointing at the couch for the young woman to settle down. And so Ria sat down at the couch which was facing the bed where the man was lying. 

"So please answer my query" Rhys begged. "Well..." Asteria voiced in a low tone. Maintaining the eye contact with the man as she quieted down suddenly. "Actually, it is like you know.." she lowered her head. Fidgeting as if she was embarrassed to admit something to the Crown Prince. "I am still listening, My Lady"

Out of impatience, Rhys stated. Gazing the young woman in silence. "I thought there was a thing going on between you and Lady Layla Rae. So I got closer to Alek to annoy you and mock you" Ria confessed with all the lies. Lowering her head slightly still while she fidgeted quietly. Silence gathered in the bedroom.
