What shock Lena Parish more?
The illness of Crown Prince Tristan or... the fact that he was willing to share it with her?
She was a General in Welahan and though her kingdom never had a conflict with the Aslirith Empire, a peace deal was never made either. Yet he trusted her with his secret?
A secret this big?
Was he a fool or what?
"Why are you giving me that face? Tristan Castelof asked her with a smile. "Don't pity me. I'm quite healthy these days and my illness doesn't cause many problems in my daily life. I can't fight for my empire or learn swordsmanship as the other Princes did. That's all."
"Did I make you uncomfortable?" Lena promptly asked him.
"It's fine," Crown Prince Tristan said. "Do you know that I envy you a lot? You're cheerful and great at martial arts. I think those are the things I will never obtain in my life."
