Chapter 43

The appearance of the princess was milder than he thought. She had a small face with soft, dark brown eyes, and a smooth smile hanging from her mouth, making her features seem gentle. Though she had a glamorous dress with hair beautifully done, there was dignity and nobility in her appearance.
