Chapter 237: Assurance
"Your Majesty, I believe that’s for Her Majesty to decide, not yours. She has her own mind. If it was me, her choice and what she wanted are what mattered most. And I wouldn’t dare grip her hand like that as well. You are hurting her. I know she’s your wife now so please treat her with even more respect," Andrew said before leaving.
[He dared to chastise His Majesty?!] Alwin was surprised. [I thought he was a coward.]
’Was he always this brave?’ Arabella wondered.
But then again, now that she thought about it, Andrew had always been this daring.
She still doesn’t know if it was bravery or simply not knowing how much danger he was putting himself in by saying those, but Andrew had always been like this. It was why he dated her regardless of what her suitors from other kingdoms said.
Ferdinand could easily do something to him or Lahar if he wanted but he still dared to talk.
It was because Andrew was the type who wouldn’t let things like that just happen when he was seeing it happen right before his eyes.
And what Andrew said was indeed true. Arabella could understand that Ferdinand was jealous but it was embarrassing and disappointing for him to treat her like this in front of other people.
It was just Andrew this time but what if there were more?
Especially since they were both royalties. They were not among the common people. They were trained to control their emotions and not behave rashly even in life-and-death scenarios.
They were supposed to remain calm and logical even if it was difficult especially since they are the Emperor and Empress of Valeria. All their actions would be given meaning and be the target of speculations.
