Chapter 158
Hearing what Carynne said, Raymond stiffened for a moment. And after a while, he stammered through his words.
Its, well, um No I just first want to make sure that you wont die in a years time, so
Im joking. You dont have to take it so seriously. I already guessed what you had in mind when you said it.
Yes
Carynne pinched Raymond on the back of his hand. His grip on the horses reins lurched, but he soon straightened himself up.
Sir Raymond, you must have aged. I surmised that youd be no fun once you get older, but youve exceeded my expectations.
Carynne, youre joking, right?
Im serious this time.
Ill hit you as a joke if you want. But anyway, even with your obsession, Sir Raymond, Ill let you off. Because youre handsome.
The obsession that Raymond had was different from Crown Prince Gueuze. Rather than a dark dungeon, his was a greatly expansive greenhouse. It was not to monopolize, but to protect.
Carynne knew the full extent of this mans love. And, of course, appearance matters in this equation.
