บท 213: Celestia Nocturne... A Heartless Creature

Taylor replied with a cheeky smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief, "What? Missing me already even though you proposed to the Empress?" 

Hearing that, Aether's face turned a deep shade of red, a mix of embarrassment and confusion swirling within him.

He hadn't expected Taylor to know about the proposal, especially considering their unknown relationship status.

His mind raced with thoughts, trying to decipher what she must be feeling now.

Taylor grinned, placing her hand gently on Aether's neck, savouring the look of surprise and discomfort on his face, "What?" she asked, her voice laced with playful curiosity.

"Well... Don't you feel... anything?" Aether stammered, his words stumbling over each other as he struggled to express his thoughts.

Relationships were a still mess for him, and he felt vulnerable and exposed, scratching his head awkwardly.
