"Who do you want to marry then?" Cent was not surprised when he heard Ana's voice. He was sure that she was waiting for the night while standing on her toes. "You told mother that you did not want to marry Grace instead of you do not want to marry."
Cent closed his eyes, "I want to marry Elowen."
"......" silence fell. Ana stared at him with a piercing gaze. "That time.. You were already in love with her. Is that why you wanted to marry her back then?" he did not reply but his eyes told her everything and she sighed.
"But you let her go. And now you want her because?" she waited patiently instead of blaming him when he ran a hand in his hair and whispered a curse, "she accepted the marriage in exchange of letting you go." understanding dawned. She had felt there was something strange that day. She had fled way too easily.
"She is a fool." Ana scowled, "I will murder her after you marry her." Cent raised a brow, finally smiling after days of silence.
