"I believed I made it clear last time that I do not want to see you." Upon entering the sitting room where her betrothed was waiting for her, Ophelia exhaled deeply in disapproval.
She was stunned by his appearance, which included a beaming smile. His appearance suggested that he had recently left a battlefield. He had a pale complexion with half-smears of dirt, his dark brown hair disheveled, and he smelled like sweat and blood.
"What happened to you?" Crossing her arms over her chest, Ophelia asked with a hint of contempt.
"A small battle." With a persistent smile, Dominik spoke. "You do not feel pity for me do you?"
"Dominik, you are not worthy of any feelings from me. It is not enough to come to my castle in this condition to win my sympathy." Ophelia disagreed.
