Bab 87: THE KING'S DECLARATION

"…So, please forgive this insolent man," Arthur asked for forgiveness.

Veronica stared at him for a couple of minutes before asking, "Do you mean it?"

Arthur quickly answered, "Yes, I do."

Veronica couldn't believe him. He broke her trust a couple of times already. She questioned him, "You will never say I'm a burden, will you?"

"I dare not," Arthur firmly replied.

She inquired, "You will never be mean to me again, will you?"

"I will never," Arthur swore.

"Fine, I forgive you. But next time you hurt me, I will leave you for good," Veronica threatened him.

Arthur finally smiled at her and responded in a gentle tone, "Yes, my princess."

Veronica finally smiled at him. It was already hard not to talk to him. How could she stay mad at him?

"You look pretty." Arthur's eyes were glued to her face.

The compliment made her blush. "Thank you. It's still uncomfortable. I wish I could cover my legs."
