章 250: A Joke

Maya smiles "Of course".

Xavier speaks almost desperately "I like you too".

Maya is speechless "...." O_O

He is anxious. Once they return to the Royal Palace, he would be asked to marry the Princess of the Southern Realm. He has to know Maya's heart before he takes a decision. 

Maya is baffled by his straight words and couldn't help feel flustered.

But she wants to know why and she asks "Why?".

He smiles while his eyes searched her face deeply "Because you are beautiful, kind, talented and brave. Your presence makes me happy".

'And I want you to walk out of this marriage so that I could protect and love you forever'.

He could only gulp those lines. He doesn't want to pressure her for his situation.

Maya is ecstatic hearing him and blushes.

Xavier asks hesitantly evethough he knew her answer "Do you like being in this marriage?"

He just wanted to know whether her decision changed in this short time.
