"Eh?"
Valentina blinked rapidly, staring at the girl who, after letting out a venting roar, quickly returned to calm.
Did she... just swear?
Not only was Valentina bewildered, but if an outsider had witnessed the scene earlier, they would surely be more confused than she was.
No one would have expected that the flawless princess in the eyes of everyone in Frost Crystal Kingdom would actually erupt in such rage to the point of swearing.
Philia broke down.
But it wasn't because Herbert was taken by Valentina that she broke down.
She admitted that, in her youth, she did care about Herbert and had feelings for him.
But isn't that quite a normal thing?
Two people who've known each other since childhood, growing up as childhood friends, it's quite reasonable to have some feelings.
But such feelings are not unchanging.
As they grow older, spending more time together, these feelings might transform at any moment.
