Chapter 103 (it is the prince)

Aria had already prepared herself to be queried by the queen. Initially she had thought that the outcome was going to be devastating for her but seeing that the Prince responded positively to her, she had no doubt that it was going to go well. At least, he would be able to accept his responsibilities, so she thought.

Despite being confident and having the support of Alina, her heart pounded ferociously. Throughout her stay in the palace, she had never been summoned to the throne room. But then, she was wondering why the queen didn't choose to query her privately. The idea of going to the throne room was the least she expected.

Alina sensed her panic and inquired of her what the problem was; "what troubles you again, Aria?"
