85. Betrayal
Grace's brow furrowed. "Her… room? Do you mean Princess Jocelyn is in this palace?"
"That's correct, ma’am. Since Prince Adro suddenly disappeared on their wedding day, the princess has been waiting for him in this palace. She said his highness would return for her." She explained, then smiled in relief before continuing, "And she was right; Prince Adro has indeed returned. Finally, Princess Jocelyn doesn't have to wait any longer."
A piercing in her heart made Grace almost grimace. As she suspected, Jocelyn had been waiting for Adro all this time. And now Adro had returned to his world, at a time when his engagement to her hadn't reached its limits for marriage.
"Ma’am, does your eye adornment feel irritating?"
Anez's question startled Grace out of her reverie. Then she wiped the corners of her watery eyes with a single move. "My… My eyes are a bit sensitive, but I'm fine."
"If the irritation persists, I can remove it and

"I… I can’t believe…" Jocelyn turned to the king and queen, seeking validation for Adro's statement, but both of them remained silent. "How could this happen? Didn't you… love me?" Jocelyn stared at Adro, covering her mouth. "Princess, please calm down first. We were just about to discuss this," the queen stood up and approaching the trembling girl. "I'm sorry, Jocelyn. I truly apologize. I realize that I have never loved you as a woman all this time. But with the girl I've chosen, I love her as a woman. I want her to be my partner for the rest of my life." Adro explained slowly. "Stop it, Adro!" The queen snapped. Then she embraced Jocelyn's shoulders. "We'll talk about this. Be calm and don't worry—" "No, mother." Adro interrupted. "I don't want to hurt Jocelyn even more by giving her false hope. There's nothing more to discuss because my decision is final, no matter what you say or whatever the consequences are.

"I-I’m..."Jocelyn's brow furrowed while examining the girl in front of her from head to toe. From her attire, she seemed like an ordinary noble, just like the girls who had come to the palace to meet Damian."Oh, did I make you uncomfortable? Would you like to sit in the garden and enjoy a cup of tea?" Jocelyn asked."I… I'm not sure..." Grace mumbled, trying to control her erratic heartbeat."I can see you're quite interested in this garden.

"I know it's quite late, but our tea is light. I’m sure you will like it."

"What do you mean, Grace?"Grace bit her lower lip and cast her gaze downward. "You can marry Princess Jocelyn if you must or if you desire to.""Grace!" Adro cupped both of her cheeks and directed her to look at him. He saw tears slowly streaming down her cheeks. "Why would you say that? What happened?""I just... thought it was the best, for the greater good." Grace put her gaze down again."No. Someone must have said something to you. Tell me, who is bothering you?""No one is bothering me, Adro." Grace lifted her face to look at his eyes and continued, "On the contrary, I'm the one bothering them.""You're bothering them?" Adro reiterated. "Grace, you're the most helpful person here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to come back.""But because of me, you've broken off your engagement!"

Grace could feel her knees trembling.She had a monster standing before her—three meters tall with wings twice the length of its body. It had glowing red eyes and a large bill filled with saw-sharp teeth. Yet she didn't know she could be this brave.

Grace exclaimed, adopting the stance Adro had taught her.CAWK!With rage, the monster lunged at Grace. She ran aside with the heavy sword in both hands.

Feel that!"Grace's cheers made the monster even angrier, attempting to attack her again. When the monster flapped its wings to attack her from a higher position, Grace swung her sword and thrust it into the monster’s belly.Blue

It's information that will be disclosed until the upcoming war council." Lady Camelia answered."You don't even know what you can and cannot say.""And she promised she could help.
