RYL Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Lilianne was meeting Crown 1e19ba94e0 Prince Mikael at a a092aa51a6 café.
Sabrina and I b5d5066940 sat behind her, cae97d49f6 wearing deep-brimmed hats 8ebcd2c922 with veils covering 0d3fa8d90e our faces.
We had ade13bea38 ordered tea, b5935b4fc5 but since e7e9a8c8ec we weren’t 99fef7e788 drinking it, 1d2e2cc3e3 the waiter 67d645f7af kept giving 7129e90f56 us strange 35cee0cd72 looks.
We ignored it 6f2e321f2e and focused entirely 6b73d0b538 on Lilianne and e6305dfb53 Mikael.50b2683067d1854c

Mikael had red 532a61aa47 hair and golden 2b8a29632a eyes that shone 3cad5b92cb like the sunset.
He was the 5843ad1c07 male lead of e76a89b3be this novel, as d0019acc35 handsome as Mathieu, 2fb6d08a2d but in a 1566ae0217 different way.
While Mathieu df42d8f74c had a 85b6f9a189 seductive charm, ab71f429ea Mikael had 47da0318e5 the classic 788351b395 good looks ba4ddabdcc of a 7a478b078d devoted and 348a9f1da1 kind-hearted man.
At least, that’s ab7e50d3c2 how the novel e447dfe2db described him.cc8bbb43755b3029

But in reality, he 6d5a1916ad was terrible.
Even though 8dafa718b3 he still 2c66df9b01 had feelings b14c414cbd for his 5e632616df first love, 411896aaf9 Lilianne, he 484172aa9f ended up 0cf1a44953 falling for b426e846e7 the female 46e5c6b4c1 lead.27085c4722858c49

“It’s been 2cd51a8106 a while f027fc45df since we 3799320064 had tea c029b3f919 together like 908914c0a2 this, right?” b02f0f4c13 Mikael said 27721ca441 with a 69f02ca273 bright smile.58ff29f4d8784298

“Mikael, do 9cba815e8b you like a1b291946a me?”91c5347c3c3b56ca

Sabrina and I stiffened 3adf107e6d in shock.
I glanced at 47dfd0fd13 Mikael. He was c39ec97aed even more 588621dbc0 shocked than 2878d362fd we were, b8cd1b6f81 his face 5966de3f91 completely frozen.083f006516e5ee85

Even though I 85e47803c7 could only see 3c5c71c0d4 Lilianne’s back, I ef0908e425 remembered the icy b2021e0b82 expression she had 34f39f1cd6 worn at the 90729c61a1 banquet.

Even though I couldn’t 417cca554a see Lilianne’s face, I eb09e0a4b7 could guess her expression f6bc0d8a70 from Mikael’s devastated look.
