Chapter 113
Chapter 113
"Because the Princess is going to marry me."
Leaving those nonsensical words, Kyle took Eden and left to the royal palace, saying he had to take care of some knight's affairs.
Orhan and Ayla's expressions, who remained in the living room, hardened due to the explosive remarks he had thrown.
"He's crazy. This is crazy. Don't you think, Orhan?"
"Hm. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a normal problem."
If Kyle really wanted to marry Zenia, the situation may become no longer repairable.
If he sends a letter to Ruit saying he wants to welcome Zenia as his spouse, all the fraudulent acts committed by everyone here, including Ayla, will be exposed.
If that were to happen, it would be a total disaster.
She had to stop his crazy thoughts somehow, as it might escalate into a problem between countries for having disgraced Ruit's dignity.
It was not possible for Zenia to get married as Kyle wanted; Ayla could feel her head throbbing because of how messed up it had gotten.
He wants to get married to Zenia??
It was surprising that the words "love at first sight" were really possible.
That crazy guy, who always had a murderous look and seemed to want to kill everyone, fell in love?? And with her, on top of that?? It was really absurd.
Of course, her first impression was that of an attractive foreign woman, but in the end, isn't Ayla her true identity? Ayla, the petty low-rank maid whom Kyle, a member of the royal family, madly hated and cursed. Why?
It was a question that was never going to be answered, and thanks to that, her throbbing headache got even worse.
With his current attitude, it seemed like even if Zenia refused, he would somehow get things done by any means.
Ayla put her hand on her forehead and sighed deeply as she looked at the expensive items that Kyle had brought on one side of the living room.
"I'm afraid I have to go to the royal palace"
"I don't think that is necessary."
Not knowing when he had returned, an unwelcome figure interrupted the conversation from behind her back.
Seeing Theon, Ayla silently glared at him and then lowered her gaze.
It seemed that it was a lie that the palace would be in chaos if the Crown Prince disappeared.
She didn't want to face him because yesterday's anger hadn't disappeared, but she had no other choice due to this situation.
"You're here again."
Ayla spoke offensively.
Seeing Ayla looking away from him with her lips closed tight, unlike a moment ago, Theon seemed to hurt on one side of his chest.
Although he couldn't see very well as she had turned her head, he was worried about Ayla's swollen eyes, as if she had cried last night.
Soon, Theon organized his feelings, pulled the chair across from Ayla, and sat down.
"Tell me what happened."
""
"Ugh. Orhan, please explain."
Theon let out a deep sigh and looked away at Ayla's attitude, who remained silent as if she had no intention of answering.
Orhan, who was looking at the two people giving off a strange atmosphere, carefully continued.
"Grand Duke Kyle Ermedi Proposed to Princess Zenia."
"?"
"He brought these things as a bribe."
Orhan spread out his arms and pointed to the items stacked behind him.
After he finished speaking, there was a long silence between the three people.
"If the Grand Duke sends a letter to Ruit requesting marriage It can be difficult to deal with."
The first to break the silence was Orhan, who kept a heavy expression on his face.
Theon seemed to ponder for a moment at his words, and then raised his index finger and waved it left and right.
"If that happens, I don't think you need to worry. It's fine since I can block all correspondence to Ruit. The problem is my brother. He's so stubborn I can't understand him"
""
"Did anything special happen in the banquet hall?"
"Baron Devin Noir approached us. It looks like the Baron will come with the tribute soon I will try to set an exact date."
"Please do that. Ayla can't continue staying here, so make sure no problem arises."
Ayla only listened to their conversation and remained expressionless, without giving any reaction.
As Theon, who was looking at her, motioned for Orhan to go out, he left the living room with a faint smile.
There was an awkward, heavy atmosphere flowing between the two of them.
Theon could tell Ayla was incredibly angry from the fact that she was still not paying any attention to him.
"About last night"
"It's fine. I don't want to hear it."
It was better to stop him from the beginning, no matter how harsh his words were and how he said those spiteful remarks.
Theon grabbed Ayla's delicate wrist as she was about to get up and leave the living room as if she had nothing more to say.
