I arrived at the door to the dining hall. Theon carefully opened the door and inside I saw that long dining table. At one end, prince Gladiolus was sitting gracefully, a true picture of a crown prince. Like I thought, he was really here waiting for me.
"Good morning Alicia." Gladiolus stood up once he saw me entering.
"Good morning Gladiolus." I greeted back.
"You are even more beautiful than yesterday." Gladiolus complimented me. "You are more radiant and glowing today."
I have been immune to his compliment since a few days ago. Every time he comes to visit, he always compliments me with such flowery words.
"Thank you for the compliment." I tentatively smiled at him.
Of course I feel more relaxed after Tricia's pampering just a while ago so Gladiolus' compliment may not be just lip service. But still, the words coming from his mouth feels like something to lure me in.
