"What kind of woman do you mean?" asked Ren in surprise. He thought Fae must be misunderstanding him when he saw her looking upset. He touched Fae's face and brought it to his own. They stared at each other and Ren could immediately see what Fae's concern was,
"You are a very intelligent man. You must know what I mean," said the girl bluntly.
Ren nodded. "Hm, actually I can guess it, yes."
"Right. So, I can't go to the capital with you." The girl looked down.
"You will break my heart, Fae," said Ren quietly.
Fae looked up and stared at Ren. This time the expression on her face was baffled. She didn't understand what Ren meant just now.
Did..
Did that man like her too?
"Why did you say that?" asked Fae, frowning.
"Because I like you, but it seems you don't want to give me a chance," replied Ren.
"You like me, Sir?" asked Fae again.
She did not believe in her own hearing.
