Eric felt hurt when he saw how Seraphine reacted to him.
Although he was already nearly sure that she had really forgotten about him, he still held onto the hope that she would recognize him outside of his disguise. He was no longer wearing the spell that he had cast on himself to hide his identity, which was why everybody else had immediately recognized him as the Crown Prince. But then, the same did not happen to her.
Seraphine looks at Eric as if she is seeing someone transcendental and otherworldly – very different from how she used to look at him when they were younger.
'There is still the possibility that she is not my 'Seraphine'…' Eric thought sadly.
'But I don't think that it's still likely. Then again, after getting to know her for the past few days, I could not help but think that she was that girl - she hadn't changed at all. She is still as pure-hearted and kind as before.'
