74 — Are You Jealous?

"I don't care. I want him back. I left him because you told me my dream could come true whereas your words were only lies but this time, no failure. If you don't keep your word, you will see the worst of me, Your Highness," Layla's words echoed in Yuden's mind. 

He walked through the palace corridors which seemed never-ending, thinking of a way to search for Layla's ex-fiance. 

Layla's ex-fiance was the youngest son of Marquis Nasir. Although the Nasir household was of a low class compared to a royal household, they made a lot of money through the years, making them no less wealthy than a duke's household. 

"Where is he?" Yuden mumbled to himself as he looked right and left.

"What did she say?" Zahra smiled, approaching the young man.

"Your Highness, that's... private," Yuden halted his steps once his gaze fell on the young lady. 

He smiled softly, looking around.

"Have you been here all along?"
