The Second Prince

Alexa recoiled when Gutard passed by her and entered the room, impetuously.

Klaus stopped beside her and held out his hand to the maiden. Shaking and not understanding, Alexa stared at him, seeing in his frown and shut jaw that the Prince contained himself.

Impatiently, the First Prince took Princess's injured hand and checked, then immediately tied a handkerchief around the small burnt hand without saying a word. As soon as he did that, Klaus turned his back on Alexa and entered the room. Like his father.

The damsel's palm burned and throbbed, and it filled her eyes with water. Again, was she just a tool for someone else's plans?

Even though the Princess was very curious before, this disappointment was hurting not only in her hand, but also in her heart. In a way, she had believed that Prince Gutard had some sympathy for her.

So Alexa turned her back and left the tower.
