Chapter 80: Heal Him
"What did you do, husband?" Elys asked the prince for the second time around.
Her voice came out unsteady and she looked as if she saw something terrible flash in front of her eyes. She was sweating hard, her heart beating so fast even someone who didn’t have a heightened sense of hearing like Aleksander would have heard.
Sure enough, the prince had seen the princess pretend to have her shit together in a brave act before. But this time around, it was a whole lot different.
"I gave him a vision," Aleksander replied to the princess.
"Ah... I see," the princess said without a hint of emotion in them.
It was like she was just answering him mechanically.
They watched Teo’s body tremble as his weapon fell to the ground after miscalculating if the bastard prince was still unconscious as of the moment. They couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph, and a small smirk and chuckle rose from them.
The prince listened in on her heartbeat. It was slowly steadying into a normal pace, so much that it bothered him how fast she could calm herself after that intense hammering of her heart.
What kind of past did she really have that made her like this in the first place?
Now that the prince was looking at her more, Aleksander couldn’t help but feel a tug of curiosity in him. Before he knew it, Prince Aleksander started to speculate where she came from, her lineage, the childhood she came from that shaped her into someone so strong.
The prince was slowly becoming invested in the princess.
