Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

“If memory serves, it’s you who had been saying that,” Frederick remarked, and Marguerite was momentarily flabbergasted,

Then it struck her, as she replayed the myriad of interactions with him over the past few days. He really hadn’t mentioned it, not once.

Her face a picture of urgency, she pressed, “Even if it was all in my head, why didn’t you correct me when I brought it up?”

Frederick chuckled, “And what would that prove, exactly?”

Marguerite was momentarily stumped, words failing her. What did she want to prove? That Frederick had no intention of marrying Yuna? Or that he still harbored some soft spot for her?

Marguerite had always been greedy when it came to him. She wanted to prove both, yet as the words reached her lips, she was filled with hesitation, leaving her mute.
