This straightforwardness was expected by Julius Reed.
Among the four, Grace River dared to love and hate, and with her dual identity as a member of the royal lineage and a princess of Mont, she possessed a strong will.
If she had done it.
It was impossible to deny.
"Why?" Julius Reed, though prepared in his heart, still felt a wave of emotion upon hearing Grace River confess it.
"Because I like you." Grace River, usually stern and dignified, at this moment seemed like a little girl, smiling as she spoke.
"Be serious." Julius Reed chided lightly but couldn't bring himself to be harsh.
He recalled how she had traveled a great distance to Town to save him, only to be captured by Andrew and endure torment.
He felt nothing but heartache for her.
Julius Reed always believed he wouldn't misjudge people.
Even though these four had done things that harmed him.
"I'm serious." Grace River's tone became more earnest, yet she repeated, "Because I like you."
