Chapter 184: [Bonus chapter]

The table was filled with all kinds of snacks but Ana's eyes were still on the tea. The purple hue in the dark green color reminded her of her past. 

Even if Emma had not warned her, she could never forget this tea. 

Richard's lips curved into a deep smile, "Emma told the maids that you like this tea. I have specially prepared it for you as an apology." 

"....."

"I did not realize how harsh I was until you left. When I heard that you were injured, I somehow blamed myself for it. This is also a reason that I want you to organize my birthday party." the aimable face he was making only left goosebumps on her skin.

The man was sharp. He must have realized that she was not going to drink the tea. But now that it was an apology from his majesty, she could not refuse it even if she was a duchess.

"So even if the party would be different, I am looking forward to it." he smiled warmly that she had to force a smile on her face too.
