"So I am going to treat you like a woman from now on… my woman." Then Theodore moved a little away from Adeline so that his hot breath was not hitting her face anymore. "And of course, I won't do anything more without your permission first."
Adeline wanted to be angry at Theodore for behaving so harshly with her. But at the same time, her heart was telling her something else. Honestly, she liked it when he referred to her as 'my woman'. The Princess obviously had not heard it from any other men because she never really went outside of the Palace where she could have met other men.
Adeline's life had revolved around her training and the men she had met were her father, her brothers, and her teachers. She did meet Theodore when she was a child, but this was her first time meeting him after she grew up.
