What Never Dies?

Aila coughed hearing what Yhuan said; she can't believe how bold Yhuan is now. She glared at him and spoke to him directly.

"What are you saying Yhuan, please stop that."

He laughed at Aila's reaction.

"I can't help it, my princess, I'm sorry I love you too much."

The duke laughed as well seeing her daughter turn crimson with the young man's bravado.

"Give this guy a chance my Princess, he is too brave to face us here and to ask for our permission. I'm sure he knows what he will be facing if he hurts you."

Yhuan felt like his heart is flooded with sunlight; sunlight gives him hopes that he will have a future with Aila.

"Aila, it's not like you are still engaged with Marcus, the king already informed us that the engagement between you and Marcus is cancelled."
