Chapter 40: -||chapter forty - the proposal||-

"Stuck between two hard choices, the Crown Prince fell apart. The guilt of being a part of his King's scheme of destroying the First Princess's life was clawing at the Crown Prince's insides. He had failed yet again in protecting the person he loved.

First was his mother, the Queen.

Second was his late beloved.

And the First Princess was the third person he had failed in his life.

While the Crown Prince was wallowing in his own despair, the First Princess, on the other hand was trying her best to not worry about her relationship with the Crown Prince.

He had promised her that he would come, he had confessed to her that he liked her as well but the First Princess could not get rid of the uneasy feeling that was nagging at her heart."
