章節 167: The Matter Of A Betrothal

"Ooh! Yeah… I want something more.", Ruika begins, jumping a little in excitement.

"Oh dear…", comments her mother, smiling at her daughter's sweet mannerisms.

'She's so adorable…', she reasons.

Mua, standing quietly on guard on the side, blushes profusely from witnessing Riuka's delicate cuteness once again.

'How could anyone get over her…', he wonders, turning his gaze to the ground to hide his longing expression before he falls deeper in love and before his flushed face is caught gaping, and he is very quickly beheaded for his sins. 

Deep down in his heart, Mua knows he is doomed. Doomed to love Princess Riuka forever.

…

"Another request? What is it?"

King Damian questions his daughter, Riuka with a tender, loving smile.

"Whatever it is, you can have it!"

"Then…", begins Riuka, shyly.

"Can you tell me what it is you both were discussing earlier which you did not want to tell me?"
