Chapter 195: Awakened my beast
"I truly enjoyed the coffee with Prince Alaric," Scarlet said, attempting to rise from the chair. He extended his hand to her, aiding her in standing up.
"Thank you," Scarlet held Alaric’s gloved hand and smiled at him.
"Why have you worn such a tight gown despite how uncomfortable it is?" Alaric finally questioned, feeling a bit upset for Scarlet. He didn’t realize when his tone toward her turned informal.
"Mother said it will look good on me. And..." Scarlet took a brief pause, "... I wanted to look presentable."
"I see. But don’t wear such dresses when you can even break your bones in them. I can feel how tight the corset be," Alaric remarked, giving her a smile.
"I will keep in mind, Your Highness," Scarlet said. The two exited the room and came to the first floor. As they stepped out, Alaric had a chance encounter with Ember and her husband, Caden.
They both greeted Alaric when Caden expressed his gratitude to him for saving his life. "Ember told me that His Highness talked with His Majesty to remove the curse from me. I’m so grateful. I’ll always be..." he stated with genuineness.
Alaric stole a glance at Ember, noting her carefree demeanor and radiant appearance, a stark contrast to before. The glow on her face had returned, bringing him a sense of contentment.
"I’m glad I could help a friend," he remarked, with a soft smile.
