Cailina rushed out of the study, leaving her writings and work behind to greet the Crown Prince. There was not enough time to change to a proper attire to greet a royal as it was unexpected to have the Prince personally visiting her.

She didn't tell him about the matter that she needed to learn as Aland stressed that no one should know about it unless the Crown Prince has finally become the Emperor. Anyone could be considered as an enemy.

She paused before entering the parlor. Her expression softened as she took a deep breath. She had Fione prepare a new batch of tea for the Prince to drink. She was unsure whether Elior would accept to let go of her hand in marriage or tightly hold onto her.
