章節 40: A dangerous hobby

As Alicia followed Harold, she noticed something strange, which she also found to be very interesting. Whenever a maid or guard was approaching and caught sight of Harold, they would immediately turn the other way. Harold didn't seem to mind them. He just kept going ahead while the others jumped out of his way, looking visibly scared. 

Alicia stopped walking and looked at his back. He seemed to realize she had stopped walking because he also stopped and turned around to look at her. 

Alicia realized that she was beginning to feel sorry for him. She had never seen him with a friend, and neither had she seen him laugh before. He didn't seem to have a good relationship with his family, and even the maids and guards were scared of him. Was this something he wanted? Or was it as a result of the curse or whatever it was that made them tag him the cursed Prince?
