"Zack, did you quarrel with Harper?" Caroline asked cautiously.

Forcing a smile, Zack answered, "No, I didn't. I'm so worried about her. Why would I have quarreled with her?"

"But you seem so crestfallen," Caroline said in bewilderment. Knowing her brother to be a reliably equable and strong-minded man, she had never seen him in such a sad and vulnerable state.

Zack stroked her head and turned his face away so that she wouldn't see his melancholic face. He didn't face his sister again until he had regained his usual serene air.

But this tactic failed. The familiar smile flashing again on Zack's face only increased Caroline's unease. Perhaps because they were siblings, who had lived together for so many years, she always sensed it when he tried to conceal a melancholic mood with his warm and gentle smile.

"Your Highness, there will be three years for us to learn to get along. If I fall in love with you over these three years, I will stay here. But if I won't, please allow me to leave." Harper was frank to Matthew. "I admit that I have a crush on you. I quite like you, in fact. However, that doesn't mean I love you, so I want to give myself a chance. Your Highness, if you agree, please let me try to fall in love with you."

Matthew had never been so happy before. Even on their wedding day, he hadn't been so happy as he was at this moment. To hear her saying just now that she would try to fall in love was the best turn of fortune in their relationship.
