Chapter 900: Rowena Is Deep In Thoughts (2/2)

"No?"

"It's not about you being fros" She looked at hih "I told you that this is all new and unfaiven some time to think and mull it over"

"O-oh, of course" Julian nodded and stood up "I'll give you some space then—"

Rowena suddenly reached out for his hand "Julian?"

"Yes?"

"We're in your room" Rowena pointed out with a chuckle "I think I'ht I forgot" Julian laughed as he helped her up It was foolish of hirabbed his hand, Rowena actually changed her mind "Do you want ht next door to each other"

"Right"

"Well, I'll be going then," Rowena said and smiled briefly at him Without further issues, she made her way to her room and shut the door

Rowena sank down to the floor and covered her face for a momentIt was a lot to take in for her

Without anyone to guide her in the reale, she was completely at a loss and only could recall the lessons instructed by the two ladies when it came to courtshi+p and proper royal etiquette

"… I suppose that is why both Lady Liz and Lady Mary were so good at acting coy and distant fro with one is rather difficult" Rowena lowered her hand "But what else do I know? If I coht about Prince Liam, the crown prince of Verona, and how they spent their tiether yesterday It was clear as day to her that he looked at her in a way that perhaps was not so different from Julian?

Well, perhaps he only admired her beauty and presence?

Rowena knew that she was charrained in her after all Even more, she reat conmen and earn their coin So, she was an expert when it ca favor froht about Prince Liam, it wasn't the same as she did with Julian

There was a sense of camaraderie because he also wished to escape the palace life every now and then, but Rowena didn't care about him as much as she did for Julian

So, to her, Julian was different, more imp

ortant, h?

Rowena really didn't knohat to thinkShe chewed on her bottom lip and tried to recall the lessons where Lady Liz actually had sootten a bit older

Lady Mary was supposed to be the one who tackled it since she got ht now

Sure, she and Julian had lived for two years together, but that wasn't the issue

It was so else entirely

"Marital duties" Rowena's throat became a little dry "Can I look at Julian in… that way?"
