Matilda wiped the tears from the edges of her eyes and took a step back. "I will tell you my decision tomorrow, Prince Édouard," Matilda said.
Édouard pulled his hands back and gave a simple nod. "I will wait. I want you to think about your future happiness with a man who will love you more than anything in the world," he said. It was to remind her that Édouard would not become that person for her.
"Hmm. I am envious of Charlotte," Matilda said and looked into his eyes.
"You don't have to. Jealousy will only destroy you," Édouard asserted. He told her not to give them open threats because that didn't suit a princess. "Niamh is also disappointed with his sister, who was once full of empathy once," he added.
"My mother was a kind and gentle woman. But she died early. I thought what was the use to remain good when you could not live a long life? My brother told a lot of things to Prince Édouard," Matilda said after briefing her thoughts on her mother.
