After meeting Cristela, Trish went back into his room to rest for a while. He cleaned himself, then threw his body on the soft bed. His hair was still wet, but Trish didn’t care about it.
Cristela’s words kept echoing in his mind. It would be a lie if he said he didn’t feel hurt to hear it, but he realized that Cristela’s words were not wrong.
Even though he and Rion were friends, there were still differences between them that couldn’t be erased.
Meanwhile ... Anwen. Cristela’s words had awakened him. Thinking of Arlo’s words about him being insensitive, he thought Anwen liked him. Trish even planned to approach the girl.
He forgot that Anwen was already betrothed to Kaven even though the girl refused it. Whether it was Kaven or not, the man who would become Anwen’s partner was a man from the upper noble class, not a man from a commoner like him.
