Ronan immediately spun around and sat with his back to Arielle. It made the young woman feel guilty because she didn't realize he would react this way. It was as if she had opened Pandora's box. Arielle touched Ronan's shoulder gently.
The man's body suddenly shook with laughter.
"I look terrible, don't I?" he asked sarcastically.
"No, you look like everyone else, Your Majesty."
"Liar," said Ronan with a snap.
Arielle didn't understand why the man felt so bad that she'd seen his face. Arielle had even admitted to herself that Ronan was very handsome.
To her, the man was more handsome than her eldest brother, Prince Alexis, who was famous for his good looks throughout the South.
Arielle rubbed her face to get rid of the sleepiness and realized she needed to comfort him. She crawled to sit in front of the man. However, when Arielle finally reached and sat down in front of him, Ronan turned his back to Arielle and avoided her.
