Capítulo 270: Risk, She Was Willing To Take

By the time Oriana returned to the Crown Prince's bedchamber, Arlan was getting ready for the ninth day of the summit conference. Everything seemed normal, as if nothing had happened. 

Oriana arranged his accessories without a word. When she caught him staring at her, he averted his gaze from her. A normal reaction. She didn't feel anything different about him.

Her mind wandered to the thought she had before falling asleep. Here, she thought her priority was telling him about her gender. It appeared that the more important matter was for Arlan to never discover she was a Black Witch. 

'I don't want him to hate me.'
