"Your Majesty, you are so wise and gracious," Karenina wiped her fake tears and hugged Nicholas. "I don't want anything in this world, but I just want to continue seeing Her Majesty the queen. Thank you."
Nicholas reflexively stepped back when Karenina hugged him, so the girl only touched air.
"Very well. I am glad we have an agreement," he said casually. "I really appreciate this."
Karenina was a good actress. She didn't seem offended that the king dodged her touch. Only the Viscount winced his forehead in displeasure when he witnessed his daughter being embarrassed like that. However, there was nothing he could do. This was the king he was dealing with.
