213 Chapter 107 (1) - I Love You, Your Majesty

Petronilla followed Rothesay out of the banquet hall. She wondered what he was up to, since he was a little more tense than usual. His nervous behavior was infectious; Petronilla's heart pounded in her chest as well.

Rothesay held Petronilla's hand tightly as he led her to a garden inside of the Outer Palace.

A long time passed as they walked in silence. Petronilla wondered, -Is taking a stroll in the garden the 'important thing' that we must do?-

As she continued to think about that, she felt this was all a bit absurd. -I mean, what is this? Of course, it is not possible for just the two of us to take a walk in the palace garden at any time, so today would be the ideal time to do so…- Petronilla tilted her head, looking confused.

At that time, Rothesay called out, "Nil."

"Yes, Ro?"

"Just for a moment, would you please close your eyes while standing right here?"

"My eyes?"

"Yes. It will only take a minute, Nil."
