Headache

The two friends accompanied by some soldiers rode past the market in a hurry. Though many people noticed them on the way, they didn't seem to be surprised at all.

The whole kingdom was aware of the friendship between their Crown Prince and the Masked Commander. So, seeing them together was a common occurrence. However, that doesn't mean that there were no rumors.

People often say that the best friends look good together and they will make a great couple. Besides, the Masked Commander was a celebrated warrior in Jerivia. The Jerivians often say that it would be great to have her as their Queen.

It's not that Iria Alewine had never heard about the rumors. She indeed heard them but it didn't affect her. For her, Zaro was her best friend and her future King, nothing more.

People often said that a man and a woman can't be friends but... she didn't believe that. She deemed the saying ridiculous.
