"You are right. I do know that if you did not say anything, he would continue to make a fuss. This is for the best." I watched as Adel sighed. "I just know I will be hearing it from Father when I get back."
"Oh, why is that?" I asked. I did not understand why Adel would be getting an ear full when she has done nothing wrong.
"Because it is partly my fault that my brother was not able to woo you. I tried to tell my father that trying to marry you to brother would not work out well, but he still decided to do it. So now I will be yelled at because I am sure he will blame it on me for why my brother failed." Adel explained, which made me realize this might just be true if the prince goes back and makes a fuss. But from his actions just now, he might not do that.
"Well…." I paused and a teasing smile formed on my lips. "You can always tell your father that I am yours, and no one can take me away from you. Like you did to your brother."
