" We should talk somewhere else, princess. "
Ashlen extends his hand towards Claire when he notices someone might see them here if they continue their conversation here. Given the situation of where only they two were currently in the palace garden when there was only darkness surrounding them, Ashlen thinks it may bring suspicion to those who see them together at this moment. So before it happens, he must act first and prevent any false rumor between him and the princess before it spreads wildly.
" Please hold my hand. It's inappropriate if someone were to see us right now, your highness. "
" Ah. "
Claire immediately looked around her when she realized that they were still in the palace. She just successfully ditches the imperial knights that escort her just now so they must be looking for her at this time. Slowly reach her hand to hold Ashlen's hand that was extended to her as that guy standing before her with a faint smile.
