William could see the fear in the little princess's eyes vividly. Princess Irene had a past that couldn't be said to be normal. Arielle had told him everything, including what the werewolf did to the princess. It was the worst.
He couldn't imagine if he was in the girl's position. William averted his face when the wind brushed past him. It also blew the princess' coat hood. Because Irene's hair was in a bun, her neck was visible.
William's heart ached after hearing what the girl had been through. He could understand why Ronan was so mad at that time. Irene, who was still a minor, was forced to carry out the mating procession, leaving traces of wounds on her shoulders that could not be erased completely. William politely put back the girl's hood so that she would not catch a cold.
