83. Calm State

"Ariadne, I don't think I can."

"Why?"

"Because I've slept with Alice. Do I still deserve to be called a crown prince or a royal son? I've slept with a woman I love, Ariadne. And that happened outside of marriage. I don't think I deserve that." Sergio said.

"It's all in your past, Sergio. You can still fix your future. What happens between you and Alice is up to the both of you. It has nothing to do with me or your status. You know? You can marry Alice. Isn't Alice the only one you love?"

Sergio nodded his head.

Ariadne took a deep breath. "And one more thing, regarding Alice. What Alice has done is not her fault. I have the right to find out who killed my parents, Sergio."

And Sergio could only lower his head. The man didn't know what to say.

Then Ariadne spoke again. "I know you are younger than me. But please, act more mature. Because right now no one can strengthen you except yourself." Ariadne said firmly.
