Chapter 216
"I am fi––"
"Fine? No, come here."
Frowning with worry, I placed my hand on Tev's forehead. Tev, who had been weakly resisting, became docile once I touched his face.
"You have a slight fever. Are you sure you haven’t hurt somewhere we can't see?"
"I'm not hurt..."
"Then why the fever?"
I pressed the faltering Tev for answers. Just then…
"Ahem."
"...?"
Startled by the sound of someone clearing their throat nearby, I turned my head. There, shimmering in the sunlight filtering through the clouds, was a head of gleaming golden hair.
'When did he get here?'
I was sure he had been standing next to that white horse...
"My lady."
"... Yes."
The prince didn’t seem bothered by the lack of enthusiasm in my response.
"Since you hurriedly passed by me without noticing, I thought you had something important on your mind..."
Glancing at Tev next to me, the Crown Prince continued, "Didn’t you see me when I greeted you earlier?"
"..."
