Ronan had not been focused on work all day. In his head was a picture of the disappointed face of a girl he had met yesterday afternoon. Ronan took another gulp of whiskey, but the image didn't fade.
There was a knock on his study door, and Ronan told William to come in immediately.
"How is it?" the man asked without waiting for William to finish bowing.
"The princess is still resting."
Ronan gritted his teeth in annoyance. Almost every two hours since yesterday, he sent William and Lucas to ask about Arielle's condition. However, they always came back with the same answer.
"Are you sure Princess Arielle is asleep and not passed out?"
William nodded. "That's right, Your Majesty. Every time I came to visit, Princess Arielle's maid always showed us that Princess Arielle was still fast asleep."
Ronan knew this was just a trick by the girl to avoid him. The man erased all his annoyance and sat back quietly.
"Okay, if that's what she wants. You can go back to your place."
