Christina was startled by the armoured man's words and felt that she was dreaming and heard something wrong.
Since she was guarding the Fortress, she was unaware of the happenings in other parts of the Kingdom.
Moreover, she couldn't believe that this tall man whose body was exuding mighty pressure was the husband that he was forced to marry.
From the beginning, Christina didn't have any opinion of Alex, she always used to think of him as a pitiful kid who had been abandoned by the world.
She had never hated Alex but rather felt quite sympathetic towards him. Being idiotic, he had an indifferent outlook toward the world even though the whole world mock him.
