'I asked her just a simple question and look how she has frozen. If she really is that weak at heart and in character... then I'm sure she would stand no chance with Briceus. Hm...' pondered the Prince.
'That bastard must certainly have a deeper reason for picking out this one.' thought Aldrich.
After contemplating all these in his mind, Aldrich smiled into a wicked grin, one that was pregnant with meaning no doubt because there and then, he had decided on a better approach at modifying his already devised plan.
Therefore, while Elizabeth held herself still in her standing position, Aldrich walked stealthily on purpose in order to place himself within the perimeter of the maiden's vision.
Thus creating no means of preventing her eyes from being locked on him, solely.
