It was as if something had struck his heart!
What? They were getting married??
Taylor was sure he hadn't misheard. He couldn't accept this fact, why should the throne be his, and the woman as well?
This wasn't fair!
Taylor liked Claire, it was the kind of feeling one has when they first meet someone. He felt that the aura Claire exuded was something other women could never replicate, something he had never encountered before in his life.
Taylor could give up the throne, he could forgo being a king, and he could abandon fame and fortune, but he couldn't bear to lose the woman he liked!
For an individual, love was something that couldn't be sought, only encountered.
So, he became anxious, unsettled, and began to devise a plan...
About an hour later.
Claire was in the garden of Rowan's palace, helping the servants water the flowers and plants. Some were already in full bloom, while others had withered due to the heavy rain last night, with some just beginning to blossom.
Recalling her stay here last night, with the pouring rain and thunderstorms, and Rowan, a gentleman, holding her close as they slept under the same blanket, not making a move on her, every detail showed his care and love for her.
Before they were married, love was about restraint, about wanting to touch and then pulling back.
Claire couldn't help but smile at the thought, feeling incredibly happy. Dr. Watson was indeed an exceptional gentleman.
At that moment, a servant approached her from a distance. "Miss Russell."
Claire looked up as the maid quickly arrived and stood before her. "Miss Russell, Prince Taylor requests your presence at Aire Castle, the westernmost location. Just head in that direction and take a left, you'll see it."
"Does he have something to discuss with me?" Claire was slightly puzzled.
