"Really?" Queen Agatha's heart fluttered. She then took Alan's hands in hers, holding them tightly. "Do you truly mean what you say, that you won't abandon me for any reason?"
"Of course," Alan replied with a smile, gripping her delicate hands more firmly, giving her a sense of reliability, while also sharing the warmth from his palms.
Feeling the warmth from Alan's palms, Queen Agatha was momentarily stunned. Her heartbeat intensified.
Although she had long shared her feelings with the man before her, moments of heartfelt connection like this were rare.
Just holding hands with this man, Queen Agatha felt an unparalleled sense of peace. She felt his embrace was a dependable harbor.
This feeling of tranquility was something she had never experienced before. As Rivenland's top prodigy, she had surpassed her peers in strength from a very young age.
After becoming the queen, the entire nation relied on her power for protection.
