"Why did you say that I am your wife?" Evelyn asked after the woman exited the room. Her eyes blazed fire as she looked at Elric who appeared to be unconcerned by her question. She put her hands on her hips, waiting for him to reply.
"Do you want your identity of being a princess to be revealed?" He asked in a calm manner.
She then understood his intention behind saying that. She was well aware that it's not safe for a Prince or Princess to wander out without any adequate safeguards.
"It would have been better if you had stated that we are coworkers or friends." She persisted in her argument with him.
He caught her off guard when he said, "I see the princess likes to argue with me."
"No, it's not like that!" She said sharply, scowling at him.
"How is it then?" He asked, teasingly.
