Bab 211: The fear of the heart

Rhea's birthday celebration continued, the banquet hall was filled with the melodies of slow music. Prince Zack had asked Rhea for a dance, though she wasn't good at dancing, his arm was firmed around her waist as he gracefully led her on the dance floor. She was nervous at first, but she found herself relaxing in his company with the warmth in his green eyes, which she also noticed had a hint of gold for the first time.

Rhea couldn't help but recall how the prince had disliked her at first. But here he was treating her kindly after she'd married his friend, and the thought brought a smile to her lips.

"I wonder what could be the reason for that smile on your face, Lady El-Dezeus." Prince Zack commented softly.

Rhea couldn't help but smile even wider, "I am just recalling how much you disliked me when I first came here," she admitted.

The prince chuckled, "I didn't dislike you. I just don't like humans in general."
