There was silence at first as we sat there in the carriage.
The fourth prince sat across from me, but he wasn't looking at me. Instead, he was looking out the window of the carriage as if he was enjoying the ride.
For me, that just meant that I had to sit there awkwardly since there was nothing for me to say.
After a bit, when we moved away from the eldest prince's manor, the fourth prince finally turned back to me.
He looked at me with narrowed eyes without saying a thing which made me feel even more awkward.
Even though he looked at me like this, I still didn't have a single thing to say.
Finally, the fourth prince broke the silence by saying, "I'm sorry about getting you caught up in that."
I revealed a visible look of surprise when I heard this.
After all, I never would have imagined that the first thing out of the fourth prince's mouth would be an apology.
Apologies and princes, they just didn't seem to match…
