The crown prince didn't know why he was suddenly so enamored and infatuated with a woman who was already another man's wife.
Well, Nicholas didn't know that the beautiful woman that caught his attention was already married at first, so he couldn't blame himself.
However, now that he figured out that she was married… Why couldn't he still get her out of his mind?
Nicholas clutched his chest and let out another sigh. "What is wrong with me? Is this because I've been causing my mother so much grief that now fate decided to punish me by falling for someone out of my reach?"
If so, fate had a wicked sense of irony for the crown prince.
He knew that he had ignored women left and right, even causing some to keep longing after him like Lady Karenina. And now Nicholas was subjected to the same desire to be with a woman who couldn't be his... Was this his karma?
"Ah, how cruel." Nicholas laughed to himself. "I'm terrible."
