My Heart only Beats for You

Preslie had wanted to tell Yesseca about it after getting groceries. But she kept dragging it out as she didn't want Yesseca to be upset.

Since Yesseca had asked, she couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

She said, "Yesseca, do you know that Megeland's president is visiting Nashaland?"

Yesseca was stunned.

Why would Megeland's president visit Nashaland?

Didn't their princess end her visit just a while ago? So why would their president come now?

Seeing how she was still confused, Preslie explained, "He is here to force Tremaine into marrying his daughter. Do you know how serious this is?"

A soft thud sounded.

A tomato which was in Yesseca's hand fell to the ground.

She had wanted to prepare a dish with tomatoes, so she was carefully picking out the best one available.

Preslie bent over, picking up the tomato that was rolling on the ground.

She comforted Yesseca, "Don't be nervous. I'm not too sure about it either, but I can tell how sincere Tremaine is to you. This visit wouldn't do anything to you. I just wanted you to know." Then, she stopped, not daring to say more.

This was because she had come to realize something just a little while.

And that was that she was a dull woman who caused trouble all the time.

Therefore, she had learned to hold back a little. This way, she could keep herself out of trouble.

Now, she had told Yesseca the news. What Yesseca would do was in her own hands.

Preslie thought that she could not help her, considering her intelligence. So she should better steer clear than be involved.

Yesseca didn't say anything.

It was apparent that she was no longer in a good mood and was somewhat gloomy.

She said, "I understand."

Facing Yesseca's disappointment, Preslie wanted to say something, but she forced herself not to.

Yesseca returned to Quartley Palace.
