Marc shook his head. He couldn't believe hearing Thea's answer.

Marc regained consciousness; he was being extremely rude for refusing to kneel and choosing to bow to the princess. Though come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with him giving that kind of respect to the princess. Anyway, nothing in the rules nor the law is it rude not to bend.

Thea shakes her head.

Thea smiled before finally hugging Marc's body tightly while burying her face into Marc's chest. There was no sound, but Thea tried hard to stifle laughter and even a small whirl from her mouth.
