The emotion in those emerald eyes was so sincere it felt as if it could turn into flames and burn Shard's soul. The sudden confession stunned the Outlander for a moment. He wanted to respond to Lecia, but Her Highness the Princess covered his mouth:
"Look at your expression. Now I really have to wonder, is it you who captured the girls of the House of Cavendish, or we who captured you? All right, all right, I still have to go have dinner with Father and Mother later. Stay with me for a bit longer, then go back to Saint Delan Square. I'll remember to send a carriage to pick you up for the Opera House at seven in the evening."
Lecia's burning feelings were no joke. Shard nodded lightly:
"All right, so where are we going this time? The Draleon Royal Opera House, the Tobesk Grand Opera House, or Queen Maria's Opera House?"
