Chapter 31

• CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
• As the days passed, I found myself becoming closer to Edward. Our conversations were filled with laughter and honesty, and I couldn't help but feel a deep harmony with him thriving. We would talk about everything, from our yearnings and fears to our choice of foods and hobbies. I knew there was no way how the maids have not started a rumor about me and the Prince, but I was happy for the first time in a long time.
• One day, while walking through the palace, I overheard some of the maids gossiping about Edward. They were talking about how he was known for his mischievous attitude and how he often caused trouble in the palace. I couldn't help but smile, knowing how different he was with me. They only knew that part of him while I know hi, now for who he was, a pure hearted fellow who had to put on a mask for the public because he was hurt and scared.
