Chapter 168: The subtle touches

Aries took a deep breath. Her face cleared up from all the sadness that was clouding her features earlier today. Inez toured her around the greenhouse, and it truly took off some burdens in Aries's mind. After that, the latter invited her for a cup of tea until it was time for the crown princess to depart. 

"Thank you for fulfilling my whim, ninth sister." On their way towards the entrance of the greenhouse, Aries smiled and turned to her left, where Inez was walking. She was carrying a few flowers that Inez kindly let her have to add to her flower arrangements as a gift. 

Aries's steps slowly halted, pivoting on her heel to face Inez. Her subtle yet genuine smile was cemented on her face, eyes shimmering with appreciation.
