Chapter 172: Sylphy’s Letter Part 4
She looked away from his hand, then towards him with the same lovely smile she’s always displayed.
Emelia: “It must have been fulfilling to help out those around you?.”
Val: “It was tough but it helped me build strength. Plus, I received fresh vegetables after the harvest.”
The smile he composed on his face made her blush. Her body turned and took a step forward, putting her hand on the door.
Emelia: “We’ll head through the garden on the way to the training grounds...”
She turned her head to him about to grab the door handle.
Emelia: “You might be able to see some..”
Val quickly grasped her hand from doing anything else.
Their bodies were almost touching, and his tone changed.
Val: “Princess, before we continue, what exactly are you hoping to come out of this tour?”
She turned to him.
Emelia: “W..what.? Isn’t it obvious..?”
He got closer. His eyes looking down at her, her hands at her sides twitching. She’s never felt such pressure.
She looked to the side blushing, feeling an amount of nervousness rush through her.
Emelia: “I just wanted..”
Val: “Yes, I’d say it is obvious. However a princess especially one of your pedigree shouldn’t aimlessly play koi and nestle themselves tightly against an unknown stranger.”
She looked down at the ground and spoke shuffling her feet.
Emelia: “I must have been too forward I, I’m sorry.”
Val: “An apology isn’t what I wanted to hear. What I want, is to know exactly what caused you to be so forward. We did just meet only a few moments ago..”
She quickly pushed herself against him, her arms against his chest. She didn’t want to see the face he was making at her and she couldn’t muster up enough courage to lock eyes with him. However, with the courage she did have, she spoke.
Emelia: “Your eyes drew me in first, your stare seemed kind and your eye color is quite mesmerizing. After you came and greeted us, the way you looked and how you presented yourself were also pleasing.”
