Louis looked at him and asked softly, "Since she knows I'm a doctor, why didn't she ask me to treat her depression?"
"...," General Wind was a bit speechless and felt guilty in response to this question. He averted his gaze, unable to meet Louis's eyes.
Yes, he had ulterior motives, wanting to gain some favor from the royal family.
Louis didn't blame him much for that, his demeanor remained gentle, and he didn't say much more. But his attitude was clear, not up for negotiation.
Outside the study, Claire clearly heard the conversation that just took place inside.
Even though Rowan declined, she couldn't shake off the feeling in her heart.
Lu Layeka practiced polygamy... She realized this a little too late and felt insecure.
She didn't listen to the rest of the conversation and instead turned around and left, her steps becoming somewhat heavy.
Alone, she went upstairs to the terrace. Claire sat in a chair, her gaze turning towards the lush towering trees nearby, unintentionally lost in thought.
Indeed, this was a country that practiced polygamy. She had known that before, but she hadn't given it much thought.
Doesn't this put a strain on the relationship between two people?
In this system, there must be countless families with multiple wives, which is so unfair to women. So, what is love, after all?
Even in a monogamous relationship, many people cheat. Human nature is like that, craving novelty and not withstand scrutiny.
Claire's heart ached... She was a princess living in a fairy tale world, with a romantic view of love.
She loved Rowan, admiring and revering him, desiring a love that would last forever, wanting to be with him until the end.
After an unknown amount of time, Claire heard footsteps. She snapped back to reality and saw Rowan approaching.
"I heard Arthur say you came up here." Rowan came in front of her, crouched down, and held her slightly cool fingers. He faced her gaze, smiling as he asked, "What are you thinking about? You seemed lost in thought."
His eyes were affectionate and indulgent, gazing at her. "Do you have something on your mind? Are you unhappy?"
"No," the girl smiled, her eyes shining, as if there were stars in them. "Have you noticed how beautiful the view is from this terrace?" She tried to conceal her emotions.
She shifted her gaze to a nearby spot and said with a smile, "I love this vast expanse of green." Directly changing the subject.
"Have you finished writing your manuscript for today?" His gaze fell upon her face, not interested in the scenery. In his eyes, she was the best view.
"Yes, I finished it." Claire withdrew her gaze, smiling as she said to him, "Writing here has been extremely smooth, with no writer's block at all. I'm in a particularly good state."
"That's great, then consider it a vacation." Rowan squeezed her shoulder, stood up, and sat opposite her. "We'll be heading back to Arkpool City in a few days. How do you feel after resting?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, do you feel tired now? After all, you've been busy with the wedding for several days." Rowan wanted her to recharge here since they still had another event to organize in Arkpool City, which required physical effort.
The girl shook her head. "I'm not tired, I feel good."
"Then we'll go back on Monday, is that okay?"
"Sure."
Then Rowan sat in a chair and had tea with her, not bringing up the matter of General Wind being asked to marry Winnie. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
In fact, Claire was somewhat anticipating that he would bring it up, even if he rejected it.
Back at his residence, General Wind, who had been rejected by the father and son, was anxious about his daughter's condition.
"Father, what did King Louis say?" the girl asked with anticipation.
At this moment, the general's wife saw a news article on her phone. Her pupils dilated, her face slightly changed, and she hurriedly walked over, completely shocked.
