Without realizing it, the Fire Spirit Queen's expression grew awkward. More than that, a faint blush spread across her cheeks.
This time, Richard had gone far beyond simple teasing.
He genuinely wanted a relationship with her that was more than merely special.
If he forced her, she had no way to refuse. But if he didn't force her... what answer could she possibly give?

Before the Fire Spirit Queen could calm her thoughts, Richard suddenly asked a question that made her feel as though her head was about to explode.
She couldn't believe it.

But this time... she couldn't.
Under these circumstances, her heart beat uncontrollably.
"You can fall in love with anyone," she replied softly.
What else could she possibly say?
