Chapter 560
"Yes. Give this to my Lady Marianne... You may go now." — Zeleskiaz said.
"As you order, your highness."
Bowing to the crown prince, Paige fled without looking back; never learning of the gentle demeanour he conquered during her wait and carried as she avoided his gaze. Albeit, the man went back into his quarters to relish on the messages exchanged. Peeking from his spot the seat he took at a small desk where the sheet she had sent lay, producing a fluttery effect to have his corners lift yearnful again.
"No more than a puppet I am... It is so easy for you to wrap me around your finger with so few words, my lady..... and yet... oh how a distressing honour it is, my love..."
The mood changed drastically in the simple man he was when it came to his devotion. His schedule had now also changed because of her sayings in a letter... and like she did at this very moment, Zeleskiaz commenced to prepare handsome attires to wear; relieved that his rush was stopped by his lady’s maid so their meeting could be decent and tranquil unlike it could have been because of his impulsiveness.

"?! How did it go? Did you meet him?"
Once I heard the door open right after Paige announced herself, I turned to leave aside the dresses I had taken out from the closet to start preparations; going to her side, feeling hopeful as she excitedly nodded in reply while closing the door, quickly coming to me as well to fill me in the details.
"I met him right on time, my lady! I arrived just as he opened the doors to his chambers and was able to deliver your message."
"Thank goodness!! And so? What did he say? How did he react?"
