The way Crown Prince Hemeri talked... it was too obvious that he was used to doing things his way!
Was he asking or telling her to marry her? Eloria wasn't even sure about it!
Nevertheless, she did not need to think twice to know her answer. She did not want to get involved in such a relationship again and she still thought that way, no matter how lucrative the Emerido Crown Prince's offer was.
With him on her side, Eloria knew that it would not be hard to carry out all her plan smoothly. She knew this but she would not accept his helping hand in exchange for promising herself to him.
"My response is the same, Your Highness," she finally said after what seemed to be forever for Hemeri Van Hale. "I will not marry you... or anyone else. I don't have time for that."
