200 A Tale of Honor and Passion - 4

The moment the servant left the room, Sarina grabbed the glass filled with wine and took a few gulps. She was trying to gather courage from the alcohol she drank as she planned her next move.

Seeing her actions, Aiden grew worried and asked, "Princess Sarina, you shouldn't drink too much. It's not appropriate for you to do so while dining alone with me."

"Nonsense! Don't be so stiff and relax a little, Sir Aiden. You're always so uptight about everything, which isn't healthy at all. Sometimes it's okay to let loose and enjoy yourself." She retorted while pouring more wine into a cup before passing it towards him.

Aiden hesitantly took the cup from her hand and brought it up to his lips before taking a small sip of its contents to not upset her any further. He didn't want to appear rude by refusing to follow her orders and also making sure to not get drunk since he was on the job.
