章 77: Her Rare Smile

King Regan glanced at his son who seemed to be quite distracted. Though he had summoned him to ask him about the competition schedule for the next day, the Crown Prince often zoned out and it had become harder and harder to get his attention.

Arin Helev was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his father. He quickly turned to him and noticed that his father was staring at him. "Yes," he promptly muttered with his head lowered a bit. "I apologize, Father."

The King worriedly glanced at his son who was always very aloof around him. "Arin, this is not like you. What matter is big enough to make you this distracted?"

When Arin Helev looked at his father's face, he was reminded of his conversation with the Queen that he overheard. It made him reluctant to speak up.

"There's no such thing," he finally responded yet he maintained a formal tone.
