Cordial Relationship

"I don't believe in destinies. Rather, my trust lies in fate. Our marriage was something that was bound to happen and was written. Now that we are a couple, I think we have to discuss some major things before we stay in his marriage." 

"Otherwise, neither can you see me without hatred, nor can I bore you." Cyrus was straight in his words. In fact, Alice realized that he wasn't only direct but also acting a bit warmly. 

Was this simply her imagination? Alice had to think twice and didn't feel so. It was all real, they were out of the castle..and he brought her up to talk? Why? They could have taken such a manner back in the castle too. 

'Or maybe, he doesn't feel comfortable talking back there when the possibilities of our talks being overheard by others are too high.' He liked to be cautious and this was easily concluded by her till now.
