114 The Betrayal

"Thank you for coming to see me, Sir Raphael," Ivanka said with her face lowered in embarrassment.

"I still feel uncomfortable with what I said the last time we met. I hope it doesn't affect your judgment of me," said the princess again. Referring to her slightly embarrassing confession of love on Mount Rubera last time.

Raphael was silent, his face flat and then he gave a small smile.

"No, I understand. At that time you were tired and confused. You may have misunderstood the feelings you have for me," said Raphael again.

Ivanka sighed.

"Yeah, that's possible," Ivanka was a little relieved that she was still able to maintain her pride. She might really be in love with Raphael but her confession yesterday was rushed. She thought she would do it again at the right time.

"I'm glad to see you're healthy and well, Your Majesty," Raphael said, nodding to her.
