After meeting Queen Dowager Melisa, Raoul didn't go straight back to the palace. He instead took Ariana to the beautiful royal garden.
After a long time of not seeing each other, Raoul thought he had a lot to say to Ariana. The girl had no idea how much Raoul was looking forward to their meeting. Even though their meeting was not as beautiful as Raoul had imagined, the man was still happy when he saw Ariana again.
Now that they finally had time to themselves, Raoul wanted to have a private talk with Ariana. The man didn't hesitate at all as he took Ariana's hand. His heart pounded harder when the man didn't see any refusal from Ariana.
