Satisfaction

At Crystal Pavilion

Inside his chamber, Crown Prince Cassian was still wide awake. He was sitting on his bed, wearing only his silver silk robe. His gaze was fixed on his glass of wine, swirling the red liquid inside. 

He couldn't get Princess Eve out of his mind. For the first time, his interest had been piqued by a woman. Aside from being the woman in Sylvana's vision, there was something about Eve that set her apart from the other princesses.

'She is so different from the other women I've met so far. Everyone tried to get my attention during the banquet. But Princess Evelina never showed any interest in gaining my favor. During her entire performance, she only looked at General Alaric… her husband.'

A cold glint flashed in Prince Cassian's eyes. Clenching his glass tightly, he hastily finished his wine in one gulp.
