There was a moment of silence between Alix and Henry as each of them contemplated the conversation they had been having thus far.
Henry had asked Alix a question, but even the blonde knight, who was normally quick with his thoughts and able to give advice whenever it was asked of him, was speechless. He felt irritation at the princess but didn't want to show it to Henry considering how much he clearly loved her.
He had warned Henry about her haughtiness before and the way she had been handed everything in her life. Though it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears since the knight continued forward in their relationship, bearing his heart for her to take as she pleased.
The silence between them seemed to be too much for Henry to handle because he let out a short sigh and pushed the letters back into his drawer so he didn't have to stare at them any longer.
