SIENNA
He was absolutely right! I didn't want him! He seemed like a good candidate for any girl looking for a noble husband and all. First, he was a prince; second, he was drop-dead handsome; third, his kingdom was rich. Very rich. Truly rich; fourth — he seemed like a snob, of course, but that was expected — he was showing himself to be straightforward and not fake.
And I considered that the best of his qualities so far. Especially after such a direct question.
"I don't wish you any harm, I hope you find what you're looking for, but it won't be with me," just as he was being honest, I decided to open my heart.
"I understand," he said. "No chance at all?"
I pressed my lips together.
"None. My heart already belongs to someone."
I looked at his face and he drew in a deep breath. I could see clearly that he had understood the truth in my words.
"If your heart is already taken, then indeed, there's nothing I can do. Now, Princess, could we perhaps come to an agreement?"
