Kapitel 79: Loyalty and Devotion

"I apologize, Your Highness; but can I take a look at your wound?"

Owine Varence was finally snapped out of his stupor when he heard Lady Vanora's strange request. Somehow, his defensive side prompted by his illness overtook him and he ended up taking a few steps backward instead of responding to her.

"Your Highness -"

"I have my wound treated and I have no reason to lie, Lady Vanora," he said, sounding quite patient. "And as I said, you don't have to feel responsible."

Vanora Asral only looked at the Crown Prince and said nothing. At one point, this baffled the Crown Prince as none of his subjects ever dared to look him in the eyes for that long!

She was really a total surprise!
