Chapter 221: Chapter 221

Ever since that day, when I went to the Imperial Palace Hospital, my interests had been pointed at Elyne and the man.

Luckily, Elyne didn’t realize that I was following her the other day. Somehow, everyone in the hospital knew about it. Of course, I warned them to keep it a secret, but I had to be careful with people. They could spread some nasty rumors.

Still, the reason why she had been particularly absent-minded these days was because of him, eh?

It made sense now that I was thinking about every single one of Elyne’s actions. Somehow she had been interested in my snacks lately. She was trying to give them to him, wasn’t she?!

“Yes?”

Though I forgot about it because of my father, Assisi was well past the age of when people would marry too. However, he didn’t look like he was interested in dating or marrying. Assisi would make the perfect husband. Of course, this was not just my idea.

“Aren’t you going to get married?”

Assisi shook his head after hearing my question.

“No, I don’t have any plans to do so.”

“Oh, why not?”

I was surprised after hearing his firm reply and asked why, but as soon as I asked, he shut his mouth. Huh? What’s wrong? Besides, his expression was dark. It was not at an awkward level. It was above that. Did I do something wrong? I thought that he was better now. It had been a while since I saw his face that stiff.
