Chapter 933: Denial

"W-What are you doing?" Roas surprised by Raphael's actions and quickly pulled her hand away from his

She hoped Julian didn't see it because she wished to be considerate of his feelings

However, what surprised Roas that instead of being hurt or surprised at what Raphael did—Julian only let out a final sigh of relief

Raphael's actions were given a blessing in a way by JulianInstead of being upset, Julian instead seemed relieved and he let out one final smile and said, "Thank you"

Not a moment later, Julian finally closed his eyes

Rowena sighed inwardly and hoped that Julian didn't get the wrong h she acted cute with Raphael, it didn't rateful for all of Raphael's help, but she didn't want any other proble frustrated at her rejection, there was only a look of sorrow on Raphael's face

While the Seventh Prince could not care about a man he barely met that passed away—he realized that Julian's death was so that would hurt Rowena And he didn't knohy, but when she was hurt, he would feel the pain too

"I may have said that there's not much I can do for you—and yet I still have to try and thank you," Rowena said "But please don't ask for soive you"

"I have helped you sie

"So you don't want lanced at hi me to swoon in your arms and declare you as some kind of valiant man to have helped me?"
