"There are so many nobles trying to pull me back these days. Only today, his majesty accepted that many nobles had tried to sway him against me. They all are jealous of the power I am gaining your highness." he bowed his head looking apologetic,
"If they come to know that you have been giving me so much attention, they might accuse me that I am only using you to gain all the power I have. I do not care what they think about me. But I do not want to drag your name in the mud, your highness. If that happened.." he paused but his voice shook with rage earning a grin from her.
Her eyes gleamed with joy as she realized how much he cared for her.
"What would you do if that happened, Lenhart? Hmm?"
