The plan was to make the emperor think that price Elvin was interested in me.
When the prince said he loved me, my heart skipped. Did someone tell about our plans? Fear gripped me as I stared at him for some minutes.
This was supposed to be an act. I hope he was acting as well "you don't mean it, do you? I asked foolishly and he affirmed it leaving me speechless.
"I loved you from the beginning. I loved you before Sargon confessed his feelings to you" Prince Elvin explained. I blinked twice to be sure that it was not a dream or hallucination. I pinched my skin and the pain made me realize that it was all real.
Prince Elvin was sitting front of me saying this rubbish to my face. Did he forget so soon who my husband was? Has he forgotten that he was living here by mercy?
"I-I surprised. You kept it a secret" I said.
"Yes, grandmother insisted that I do. She prefers Sargon to me" He explained.
