I was planning to take a nap since I still feel weak, but after hearing what Prince Fraser said to me, my mind couldn't stop thinking about it.
Prince Fraser had already left the room, and I still couldn't get over with what happened. Brother Pascal, who decided to stay with me, put down the book he was reading just to ask me why do I look preoccupied.
I stare at him and sigh. How am I supposed to answer his question? Should I be honest and just tell him what I heard from Prince Fraser? But if I do, wouldn't that complicate things? After all, my family expects my engagement with Prince Fraser is still valid.
I just smile reassuringly at him and shake my head. "Nothing, Brother. I just couldn't help but worry about the man who got stabbed. Is his condition already stable?
I don't want to disappoint them. That's why I just lied. It's better this way. To stay them away from all these complications.
