"When are you going to introduce her to me?" The prince finally implored, his words making Aiden stop dead in his tracks as he realized that the prince was aware of Hina.
"Are you stalking me now?" Aiden asked, turning to face him.
"As I said before, I'm just curious" he shrugged, "it's quite fun seeing the cold Aiden Kira get so worked up over a woman" he said, closing the distance between them, that same smile on his face.
"But you'd need to do something about your gaze or you'll scare her off before you even get the chance to start anything with her" the prince chuckled,
"You can always come to me for advice though. It's only right that I help my one and only friend with his blooming first love"
"That was cringey, even for you" Aiden pointed out, a faint smile on his face as he walked away.
The prince was indeed curious. Was it possible that the emotionless grand duke had caught some feelings for a woman?
