Hearing his words made Alice surprised. Looking at him, with the amusement present in her eyes, she can't help but feel something amiss in his words.
As if, he was carrying a lot of sentiments which he was also unknown.
"I understand..." Alice said with a soft mutter, "But are you close to someone in your family? Someone who has given you love?"
In return, she once again received the same aloof shook from his side, making her heart jump a bit. "So you mean....you don't like being close to anyone?"
"No one came close to me, because of many reasons. I'm the only child of my mother, all are stepbrothers or sisters and I guess, this always ignited hatred."
His answer made Alice feel tons of emotions. Her eyes averted to see the floor of the cart where it was hard to define her own feelings.
She always knew that Kings took the concubines and this might make everyone rebellious.
However, she never witnessed the same.
