"Lord Carlos, I just got this Thousand-Linden Fruit. Would you like to try it?" Heidi, her face flushed, approached Carlos who was standing alone at the doorway and asked.
Carlos shook his head, "No, thank you. The Saintess has expended a lot of magic power; see if she needs anything."
Heidi's face turned pale, and she whispered a yes in a low voice.
She held the tray with a tight grip, once again feeling this way.
During this time, she had always felt fortunate that she was not the Saintess, for it gave her a chance to be close to the person she liked. But what about Carlos? His attention was solely on Saintess Heatherv, never sparing a glance for anyone else.
If, if she had been the one chosen as the Saintess, would Carlos, like now, have eyes and heart only for her?
Unexpectedly, Gu Shengyin received a system notification stating that Heidi's hostility towards her had increased again.
