Axilia… has a twin sister? Lixi is the name… but why does that seem so familiar…
"That girl you were interested in, yes?" The king raised an eyebrow. "One year after you left this place, five years ago, she escaped to the Living Realm. Since then, she has not returned. I'm afraid… she did not want to marry you."
Wow, that must hurt. Having your crush escape to a whole other realm just to avoid being with you… yikes.
The prince, however, kept his poker face up and didn't appear mad at all. Instead, he just laughed awkwardly and scratched his hair.
"Well, well… that can't be helped. I was hoping to marry her once I returned, too."
For some reason though, I was suspicious about this guy. I had a nose for sensing people who weren't actually as they appeared on the outside, and this so-called prince reeked of it.
As such… I decided to peer into his head to take a good look at just how dark his thoughts were.
