Chapter 45- Royal Invitation (Part 2)

Rin blinked a few times at the king's sudden request. He wasn't too shocked but he still had to take a few seconds to comprehend him. After that, he calmly shook his head at the king and said.

"I'm grateful for the offer. But, I will have to refuse." Rin's eyes were serious as he gazed at the man who was at the top of the empire.

"I do believe that each person has the right to choose who they want to spend the rest of their lives with. Eli-, her highness the princess is no exception. She has the right to decide for herself as I also have the right to do so."

Even though many would consider the way Rin replied as disrespectful or even rude but the king didn't take any offense to it. In fact, his grin widened as he started laughing loudly.

"Interesting, boy. Your name was Rin, right? You're the first to refuse my daughter's hand in marriage. That's why she most likely took interest in you." He said.
