章 39: Jealousy

Selma Payne's POV:

On the way back, I kept thinking about what my father had just told me. He told me that in the future, I would have to govern the country with the help of the various dukes. This would not be an easy task. However, I felt very excited I felt very excited when I thought about how Aldrich would only listen to my orders after I became the Queen.

As I said that, I saw him standing outside the corridor, leaning against the wall and looking around. When he saw me come out, an undetectable smile appeared on his face, but it was quickly covered up. Then, he walked over to me and gently held my wrist.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have some issues with training that I need to talk to you about."

We walked to a place with no one around. I snickered at him. "Aren't you afraid that people will find out about our relationship?"

"When my call was cruelly declined, everything else isn't that important anymore," he said to me pitifully.
