Bab 138: Reliable

The number of days the Princess spent in bed was becoming alarming. At first, Heinrich gave her space. He figured he couldn't see her with his broken attitude. However, after Anton Hoover had advised him to be like himself, he found no excuse to not see the Princess. 

Standing outside her room, he contemplated his actions and words again. He was easily misunderstood, so he was extra cautious. He knocked at the door as his inner thoughts knocked at the door of his heart. 

Like always, the Princess didn't answer.

He turned around to go back to his room for the time being when he saw the Princess walking toward her room. As she looked at him, she quickly reached for him, hugging him out of nowhere. 

Heinrich's eyes widened, "S-Sofia?"
