Ore took a deep breath to calm his nerves. "About that, I want you to cancel the debt."
Cira laughed. "Oh? And why would I do that?"
"Because I'm next in line to the throne."
I shook my head. Ore meant well, but his logic sounded like that of a child.
Her eyes narrowed. "And what does that have to do with anything?" She snickered. "Unless you wish to marry me."
Artemia stepped forward and glared at her. "No way! Ore is mine!"
Cira snickered. "Possessive much?"
Ore sighed. "Anyway, I'm sure my father will appreciate it if you cancel the debt. It will make your family look good."
She laughed. "Oh, come on! Everyone knows King Kohei hates your sister!"
"But he doesn't hate me," Ore said, smiling.
She scoffed. "He doesn't like you either."
"True. But, I am still his heir. You shouldn't anger me."
"Ore, please stop," I whispered, eyes downcast.
