The response Cralos received made him speechless. He looked at Avian for a bit until she was about to pull herself away, thinking her words finally registered.
But the Crown Prince did not let her go, his arm wrapped around her slim waist and his hand grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him again.
The white-haired woman looked at him weirdly since he was still silent. After a moment, Carlos spoke up.
"I'm the Crown Prince, in addition to being almost a sword Master. Do you really think I will be someone people can use against you?"
Shaking her head helplessly at him, Avian tapped his cheek.
"Precisely due to your position, golden boy. Being by your side is not impossible, however, I will not allow myself to be reliant on you."
