Excuse me, your highness

12: Realisation

"You are really bold, you know?"

The blond prince blinked. "Huh?"

His azure gaze fell on his sworn brother who casually twirled the wine in the glass.

"What do you mean?" His brows furrowed because Cale has been taking his sweet time tasting the wine from Fehrin.

"I don't expect you to be an oblivious one, Your Highness."

Now, Alberu was left dumbfounded. What is this redhead man trying to talk about.

Both Cale and Choi Han looked at one another after seeing the confused look of the crown prince.

At first, they thought Alberu Crossman was keeping his relationship with the youngest princess as a secret. But a few days here, and seeing how Alberu and Camellia are treating one another, it is actually more... complicated than that.

There is no secret relationship.

It is an unresolved feeling from both sides.

Despite it being painfully obvious how Alberu and Camellia look at one another.

Even Choi Han noticed!

"Your Highness, have you been seeing Princess Camellia for a long time?" Cale asked, trying to gawk Alberu's reaction.

'Is he going to lie? Or brush away the question?'

"I don't understand what you mean, Cale."

Cale let out a sigh. This prince is making him have a headache. He should just ignore it. Yeah, this is a better option. Why would he get involved in the crown prince of Roan's romance life anyway? He has better things to do.

Such as living a peaceful life.

Let just leave Alberu to figure out his own feelings by himself.

Alberu is an adult, after all.

Cale had declared to himself that he won't get involved. However, it seems like fate may be laughing at him because...

A few months after they are back to Roan from Fehrin, Alberu suddenly teleported into his room at Super Rock Villa. Looking distress.

This was never done by this crown prince.

Usually, Cale was the one who was trespassing into the crown prince's room.

But today, he got the taste of his own medicine.

Cale immediately sat up after comfortably lying on his bed after seeing Alberu here. Alberu was walking in a circle inside his room with a frown decorating his handsome face.

Alberu Crossman stopped and then looked straight toward his sworn brother.

"She's going to get married."

Cale blinked in confusion. He didn't need to ask who was 'she' that Alberu was talking about. But he asked anyway.

"Who is she?" His eyebrow raised, waiting if Alberu finally would tell the truth.

"Camellia."

Oh? Cale blinked again. He was honest this time.

"What's wrong with that? It is good news, isn't it?"

Alberu was fast to reply. "No!"

Cale opened his mouth and closed it again.

"She can't. What if the man is not suitable for her? What if this is just an arranged one for her, and she never loves that man? A marriage should be done between two loving couples, isn't it? She is fragile, you know? She is easily cry.. but she also easily smiles. But that is not the problem. She can't get married, Cale. This is too sudden."
