Gently, Adro helped Grace back into the wheelchair. Then he let go of his hand after making sure the girl was seated properly."Th-thank you," Grace said, hanging her face down.Adro nodded slightly. "You're welcome!" Then he placed the cup on the counter. "You should ask for help if you need it. That was very dangerous. Just imagine if you were alone here, and no one could help you.""That's because I'm used to it," Grace muttered."Pardon?" Adro looked at Grace and squinted his eyes. "Did you say something?"Grace shook her head and gave an awkward smile. "Nothing. It's not important.""What were you trying to do? Let me help you with it," Adro asked."I wanted to prepare a drink for us. I was thirsty, and you might be too," Grace replied as she moved her wheelchair back when Adro stepped to the side of the counter."I see. Can I use the cups over here?" Adro pointed to the dish rack.Grace nodded and pointed upward. "I usually use cups in the hanging cabinet, but since I can't reac

"Um... is there something wrong?" Grace asked."It's just..." Adro stopped. His eyes were still fixed on the flashlight. "I just remembered that it's inappropriate for a royal to put their head low, and moreover, near the floor."“What?” Grace muttered with a furrowed brow. Then she realized and pulled the flashlight back before turning it off. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I forgot that you're a prince, and I don't know the rules in the kingdom." Then she placed the flashlight back in the drawer. “I'll look for it again when my ankle has healed. It's not so important, anyway.""I’m sorry, I can't help you with this," Adro said with a slightly lowered face.Grace shook her head. "No… You're a prince in your kingdom. Of course, I understand that.""Thank you for being understanding." Adro smiled a little.Silence enveloped them for a few seconds. They stood there, staring at each other with blinking eyes.Clearing her throat, Grace finally found something to say, "Well, you said you couldn

Because their search yielded no results, Grace and Adro decided to return to Grace's house.On the way, Grace noticed that Adro remained silent, staring out the window. The man must be disappointed. The mansion was the only place they could rely on to find his way back. The absence of any clues in the mansion indicated that the possibility of Adro returning was low or even impossible."I’m sorry if today's search gives no results," Grace said, almost whispering.Adro turned to her. He realized his face might look sullen, even though he didn't mean it that way. He quickly carved out a smile. "You don't need to apologize. It's not your fault. I should be thanking you for helping me, even with your injured foot.""Since my parents and eventually my grandmother passed away, I often feel scared," Grace uttered. She inhaled deeply and continued, "It's an inexplicable fear. I feel alone in this world, even though I have Sarah and Bella as friends. And even though I'm an adult, and it's norma

“Sarah said that you are currently staying with your relatives. Is that true?”Grace nodded, giving a faint smile. "And she doesn't seem too happy about it.""She sounded like that when she told me." Bella chuckled and continued, "But isn't the presence of your relatives supposed to be somewhat helpful given your current condition?""It is. He has helped me a lot at home," Grace replied."Oh, that's good. But, you know... I hope you're not being too nice to him like you usually are. Haha..."Finding her words sent Grace to fall silent, Bella cleared her throat and continued, "I don't mean to offend or lecture you, Grace. I'm sorry if you feel offended by my words. But we all know that sometimes you're... well... too kind to people, and without realizing it, you end up being taken advantage of by a shameless and selfish person. I'm genuinely worried about that. Maybe I'm influenced by Sarah? Well... I'm not sure,""Perhaps Bella is a bit influenced by Sarah. But as an outsider, I would

Concluding someone's life based on one’s conversation with strangers was not a wise thing to do. However, Adro couldn't help but conclude that Grace's social and romantic life wasn't going well.It seemed that Grace had been dumped by a man who took advantage of her kindness and innocence. Suddenly, Adro remembered their previous conversation when Grace mentioned that the men in his world were not good. And those women were other evils who deliberately used Grace's situation to make her the subject of their jokes.Every word those girls threw made Adro have to restrain his legs from bringing him out of the fitting room. He itched to stop them, but he had to think twice. He knew very little about this world, and he wasn't sure if Grace would be happy if he interfered in her private life.In silence and with clenched fists, Adro stood there, waiting for those disrespectful women to leave. Not long after, Adro finally heard their annoying goodbyes. Then, thei
