The Last Time

For a while, Princess Lillian stared at the empty door with her face still devoid of any emotion. Then she lay down on the bed. The moment she shut her eyes, a tear rolled down the side of her face.

This wasn't what she planned for herself. She couldn't believe that she messed up everything.

The Princess recalled her conversation with her father before the wedding.

Her father was glad that her life was spared even after being exposed. He also said how Commander Nicklaus Elan was one of the most powerful people here in Welahan. If she could establish her place here in Welahan and gain some power by using him, it might even be better than her original plan.

Princess Lillian finds herself strange.

Why did she hate the idea of using Nicklaus Elan to gain power?

Even after she was forced to marry him, she still hesitated to do any harm to him!

Did Nicklaus Elan take the situation to his advantage and ask the King to let him marry her?
