*Did I...get tricked?*
Leon stood at the gates of the Royal Palace, holding the small gift Princess had given to Anna. He had refused the royal carriage that could have taken him home and felt his emotions were incredibly complex while the night wind blew around him.
*That cunning woman...*
All the questions he had initially raised, such as the vast cognitive differences, the busyness of both their work, the troubles brought by his princely identity, and that she truly desired the Ryan Family rather than himself... none of these issues, the real reasons that made him want to reject this marriage, seemed to have been addressed in the end.
Even though the situation had not changed a bit from before, he not only failed to call off the marriage, but had also found himself firmly committed by her. Carelessly, he promised not to blame her, not to abandon her, to give her a chance, and never be the first to suggest breaking off the engagement.
