"Ah!" Gracelle covered her face with the blanket before pulling it down just enough to reveal her eyes. "I… I… I didn't… I'm not interested in your fiancé… the doctor… b-besides… he's a Prince and your fiancé… I… I don't want to ruin anything…"
Liana smiled, giving her another sly glance.
"You know how nobles and royals are, right? A man of status, especially a Prince, rarely sticks to just one wife. It's not unusual for them to have multiple partners, especially someone as capable and charming as that handsome Doctor. So even if you were interested, it wouldn't be a problem~"
Gracelle pulled the blanket down from her face, revealing a pure, sweet, genuine smile.
"Mm~hm." She shook her head gently and glanced at Liana. "No… I still have a promise to the boy I made a vow to years ago. I've held onto it all this time. I can't just let it go now."
Liana smiled behind her mask, a warm feeling stirring in her chest.
