"Not bad, right?" Jose asked again.
Avie Scarlet nodded absently.
"I think it's not bad either." Jose seemed to be talking to himself, as if contemplating. Then he added, "Quite unexpected... to not be bad."
Avie Scarlet wanted to say that with so few close encounters, Your Highness had already overturned the image she had once built up through television screens and magazines...
It was hard to say whether it was for better or worse.
It just let her know that he was such an unpredictable person.
What she was thinking about more now was, Your Highness had kissed her... What, what did that mean?
"If it's not bad, how about another?" Jose pinched Avie Scarlet's chin.
The moon slowly peeked out from behind the clouds again.
It shone upon Avie Scarlet's face.
Jose scrutinized Avie Scarlet's face carefully, inch by inch, appreciating it: "Maybe it's because I am ill... Perhaps it's because I have no one to rely on tonight... I find you, exceptionally beautiful."
