Kapitel 178: (In)eligible bachelor

"What is it?" Harold asked Alvin, who was holding out a gourd of water to him after their training.

"It's water," Alvin said, making Harold scowl at him as he took the gourd from him. 

"That's not what I'm asking you. What do you want to say? Tell me," Harold said, not liking that Alvin's uneasiness was putting a damper on his fine mood. He had woken up feeling very rested and happy with Alicia in his arms. Somehow, he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders after confessing his feelings to Alicia. 

Alvin looked around them, making it clear to Harold that he couldn't speak out there in the open, and immediately, Harold stood up and walked away, leaving Alvin to follow him. Neither of them said a word until they got into Harold's chamber and shut the door behind them. 

"Did something happen?" Harold asked, watching Alvin closely.
