章節 184: Meeting Calix

Alastair pursed his lips and closed his eyes. He pressed his forehead in worry, and Samantha, who saw his state held his hand immediately. The sudden touch forced Alastair to break out of his thoughts and look at her, moved by her warm gesture. Samantha pressed on his hand, assuring him silently, and Alastair smiled at her, thanking her silently.

Samantha had no idea what made her hold His Highness's hand. The moment she noticed his face turn serious in worry, she could not stop herself. Her heart wanted her to hug him to console him. It wanted to see his smile again, and just as she was hoping for, he did smile. Yet, his smile did not reach his eyes. He was still worried, and Samantha understood the seriousness of the matter.
