Kapitel 208: Call Me Loriel

Elise bit her lip. "My name is Elise Leoralei, Your Majesty…"

Loriel's expression darkened at her reply and he said, "Call me by my name."

He growled slightly at her greeting and Elise could sense the hostility in his tone.

Elise fought back against the surprise that tried to come across her features. Were they that close already that Loriel wanted her to call him by name alone? Not really. Instead, Elise understood that the two of them were starting at a difficult level.

Loriel was someone who left his kingdom and wandered the world, going through countless adventures by himself… the man probably thought it was a burdensome thing to take on the throne. 

Even if Elise didn't want to think too much about it, it wasn't also strange that Loriel also probably harbored resentment for being betrothed. Except for this time, Elise didn't understand why Loriel still pushed for their upcoming marriage.

Maybe Loriel was just upset and having a bad day?
