Eckart frowned and looked back at her.
"Marianne, I never said I didn't like it."
"Well, when you looked at me like that, it's because you didn't like it. I was wondering why you…" Grabbing his arm, she went down the stairs, kicking the front of her skirt with her shoes as if she complained. She pouted with her eyes closed tight.
Eckart breathed a deep sigh, narrowing his brows. He took the end of her dress to prevent her from getting hurt, and he even got closer to her so she could lean on him as she climbed up the stairs to the main hall.
But his actions didn't help change her sullen mood.
In the meantime, they arrived at the main hall and waited for the door to open. With her shoulders down, she let out a sigh. She just looked down.
Eckart slowly closed his blue eyes and then opened them.
