He couldn't hate her

 The balcony was quiet and chilly; Abrielle froze when Alfonso hugged her. What was he doing? The last thing she needed was an unnecessary misunderstanding. Her life was about to get shittier than it already was.

 

 Her hand was pressed against his chest, and she tried to shove him off, but he felt like an impenetrable wall. Why was she physically weaker than all princes? This was annoying.

 

 " Alfonso, let go of me; I don't need a hug from you." She snapped at him, but he didn't listen, she didn't want to imagine what would happen if someone were to show up. Why was he not acting according to the plot? Or did the plot only heavily influence the main characters?

 

 But he wasn't a side character either as he did have relevance to the story. Sensing her hesitance he reluctantly let go. Abrielle immediately stepped back from him to give themselves some space.
