Her questions and expressions made Alex smirk. "What makes you think that I am?"

"Well… for you to be able to punish that princess, like you said you did, you would have to be someone as powerful as the royal family, if not more, right? But why did they do that? Was it because they don't want you to marry a commoner like me?" Abi explained her thoughts to him.

"But you would eventually marry in the future, right?"
