Chương 147: The Prince's Ego

Helena furrowed her brow. She brushed off Prince Max's hand on her shoulder.

Helena wasn't sure if she was seeing things right. However, Prince Max's recent statement and his expression reminded her of Ethan, when he showed his concern for her safety.

Of course, now, she had people around her due to her impressive achievements. Yet, in the academy, she wasn't someone warm and outgoing.

"You care about me now, probably because of the rumors about me wanting to overshadow your achievements, right?" Helena asked. "Or for what reason? It sounded so... absurd just now. Considering my married status. Do you realize others could misunderstand that?"
