“Stop with your pitiful, little tricks, Rhea.”
Rook turned back and gave me that familiar taunting smile he always threw at me.
“There’s a limit to my patience. Don’t test me by using this threat on me. I’m the one who’s been tolerating this relationship.”
I clenched my fists. “I’m serious.”
“As you wish.”
He strode out the door without bothering to look back.
Sera smiled but quickly hid it. She turned around gracefully to apologize to me.
“I’m so sorry, Princess Rhea. It’s my fault for bringing Anna back and depending on Rook for everything. I’ve caused so much
trouble between you, but don’t worry. There’s nothing between us. We have an innocent relationship. We’re just good friends…”
Sera might be giving me an apology but her expression said otherwise. She was flaunting her good fortune. She even had the gall
to promise to buy a new wooden sword as compensation to Ari.
Rook had Anna in his arms while calling out with a tenderness that I had never seen in him before. “Let’s go, Sera.”
“Coming!”
Sera ran after him like a little butterfly. She said coquettishly, “You have to show more patience to Princess Rhea, Rook. She just
wants you to cajole her. She’s not serious about leaving you.”
“I know that, which makes it more important that I shouldn’t let her get her way. She needs to reflect on her behavior.”
“When she trapped me back then by forcing me to marry her with dirty tricks, she should have expected such a day to come.”
They leaned against each other intimately. That wonderful sight stuck out like a sore thumb to me.
