"Can't it not wait for another day, your Highness?"
Zoe whispered to Raigon under his big powerful hands followed by a chuckle. She was trying to sound confident but she wasn't able to hide her jitters away as she wiped her sweating hands on the hems of her gown.
She completely forgot the other gift that Raigon was talking about because of the ruckus. What surprised her is that he would still insist on giving it to him amidst what happened.
'Could it be he would propose to me now?' Zoe's eyes widened at the thought. But she quickly shook her head to focus on the reality.
As she was finally calming herself, Raigon answered her question as his raspy voice breathed into her bewildered ear.
"No. I think I have waited long enough."
Zoe wanted to peek back at Raigon as the hairs on her arms stood on their ends. But his strong hands firmly held on her head, giving her no chance of escape if ever she wanted to.
"W-what do you mean by that?"
