“Teach the princess who is about to be engaged to Arathus.”
If only one day, while she was gaining recognition as a tutor, an unyielding imperial decree hadn’t come down.

His expression hardened, as if he’d heard something he shouldn’t have heard.

His low voice left no room for doubt, and he suddenly approached me.
It was our first kiss.
