"Patience, sister. I'll answer your questions one by one. Firstly, my 'illness' was healed quickly." Alexander smirked cryptically. "So fast that it's unexpected!"
"You…"
"Secondly, that girl is not barbaric. Her name's Aurelia Chilton. We have learned palace etiquette since we were children. Have the teachers taught you to disrespect others? How's a qualified ruler to take the throne when she has no tolerance and can't show respect as well as self-respect?"
Victoria gritted her teeth with quivering lips.
"Thirdly, I gave Aurelia the invitation. She's my guest today." Alexander's words were authoritative. "If you want to do anything to her on this occasion, Victoria, you'll be fighting me…
"Before our uncle completely takes your side, it's unwise to do so. You're basically destroying your own future! Is that not true?"
Victoria screamed, "Alexander!"
Alexander's smile only grew wider as he looked at her quietly.
His gaze was not challenging. Instead, it was telling her, "Come at me. I'm not scared of you!"
Victoria sucked in a cold breath. She was frightened. This Alexander felt foreign to her and sent chills down her spine.
"Oh, I forgot the last thing." Alexander smiled. "Our deal?
"That's not exactly a deal, Victoria."
"What are you saying?"
"I like Zephyr, or perhaps, the fact I like men isn't something to be kept a secret."
Victoria widened her eyes in disbelief.
"I like him, but I didn't come in between his family," Alexander reeled his smile in and said seriously, "I like men. I don't deny it. My sexual orientation is an issue, but I've never done anything abominable. I've never harmed a person or committed any heinous crime!"
