Crown Prince Alerone wasn't the only one who was taken aback by the unexpected words that escaped Lady Lenora's lips. Urien who was standing a few steps away was equally surprised too. However, in contrast to the Crown Prince who slightly raised a brow, the right-hand man of the Duke still put on an emotionless face while tightening his grip on the hilt of his sword, perhaps to keep himself in check.
"Are you saying that you are willing to marry me, Lady Lenora?" Crown Prince Alerone asked; his gaze was quite observing apart from the confusion that was seen in his eyes.
"Yes, Your Highness," Lenora Macheze responded. "Let us get married." Her calm voice sounded a bit lifeless and the intelligent Crown Prince didn't miss it.
At the moment, it took Alerone Caderin every inch of him to refrain from looking at Elycia who was standing just a few steps away. He wanted to see her expression, that was if she showed any reaction at all.
