Chapter 60: A Token of Affection

He didn’t. Instead, he totally ignored me and turned around. In his deep and soothing voice, he asked Sophia, “Only one of?”

Sophia blushed and lowered her head as if she was really shy, “Your Highness…

The whole scene caused a cold and hard knot in my stomach and I felt like a fool for ever making him anything.

It was clear now that all he’d ever wanted from me was help in getting his berry to grow. I fisted my hands, trying to fight back the bitterness.

I couldn’t understand why I was so upset. Yes, I might have considered myself a friend of his, and whoever that he chose to be with really wasn’t my business, right?

But that wasn’t working… I couldn’t help feeling betrayed, somehow, and it hurt, especially when I heard Sophia giggle.

Rounding the corner, I saw two other girls coming down the hallway. “Oh, look over there. It’s the has been,” one of them said, and then they laughed. I recognized them as being friends of Sophia.

Before they got far enough away from me that I couldn’t hear, the other one said, “Sophia is the one Prince Theo wants now. I’m so happy for her. Everyone should’ve known she would win. She is the most beautiful one here. Not that loser.”

I managed to keep my tears back until I heard the other one say, “Sophia will be Prince Theo’s Luna.”

I should’ve turned around and ran away when I had the chance, but it was too late.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Sophia’s sharp voice. echoed in the empty hallway.

“Don’t curse,” Theo reminded her quietly, his voice almost gentle. “It’s not becoming of a lady.”

“I’m so sorry, my Prince,” she said. “It’s only… I can’t believe the same girl you just told to leave the castle immediately is standing here staring at us with her mouth hanging open. Better close it before you swallow a fly.”

I wasn’t sure what to say to her, so I ended up saying nothing at all. I took a step backward, thinking now was as good a time as ever to leave, but now, Theo was also finally paying attention to me.

I fully expected to see rage in his eyes, but I didn’t. He just looked more indifferent than anything else.

“What are you doing here, Ciana?” he asked me. “I didn’t think I’d left things unclear before.”

“You were quite clear, sir,” I agreed with him, finding my voice despite the feeling that my heart was being squeezed. “I am leaving. I just… had something to give to you first.”
