Chapter 970: King Dracos Demands Raphael To Marry Rowena (2/2)

s fell on his arm, he turned to see her and realized how she was horrified and broken

Did she cry because she thought he didn't want to take responsibility? But he just said he would marry her

Ah, ation Maybe she was scared that his opinion of her would change and he would think that she was a loose woman, or worse a temptress

No, he must not let her think that way

The Seventh Prince touched Rowena's hand and clasped it with his carefully and he gently asked "Do you regret what happened last night? Do you… do you not want to marry me?"

Rowena pursed her lips Of course, she would love to marry him, but not like this Not because her father made him do it

Weakly, Rowena shook her head and looked up at Raphael

"No, I love you, Raphael, and I would be happy to be your wife" She wanted to say 'but, I don't want you to feel trapped and hate

She looked down in frustration

Raphael sreement He brushed off his discomfort and humiliation and pulled her into his embrace "Then, you justDraco was happy to see and witness the outcoh it didn't show on his face

"Very well Since you have expressed your desire to take responsibility and ree" He scoffed and showed a very offended expression "I will let you two get dressed and ill talk about the details outside"

He turned around and left Raphael and Rowena alone He had got what he wanted, he ive them a bit of time to make sense of what just happened

After the door was closed, Rowena pushed Raphael away from her and she clutched the blanket to cover her body all the way to her chest "Raphael, go! You can still go now You can fly, can't you? You did it when you saved me froet this ever happened"

"Huh? What do youme away, Rowena? I already said I love you and I will take responsibility for you" The man was surprised by Rowena's sudden reaction

He was confused to see her crying without a sound Rowena's tears were streaain her coht about this quickly She realized she wouldn't be able to handle another loss

It was better to be alone and suffer on her own than to

bring Raphael into her misery He would only see who she really was if he married her and then whatever love he had for her would be replaced by hatred

"Go, now!" She wrapped the blanket around her naked body and went to the floor to get his clothes She pushed them to his lap frantically "I will talk to my father You don't have to do this This is allthe courage to run away again She was so dumb to think she could live in Ashland like this She should have never returned Perhaps, it was better if she stole Julian's body and gave him a proper burial, and then she killed herself

Then, it would all be over
