Chapter 70: Alive

Theo just remained quiet.

Some insects buzzed in the background- it was really late. The city was getting darker and darker. But the tree of Roudia was still illuminated with luminescent small leaves and perhaps large fireflies? But no one was there to enjoy the magnificent view- no one was in the mood to.

Theo didn't know what the best way even was.

And frankly, he didn't care.

His sister mattered to him more than all this.

And Emily's words also mattered. This was her life, her choice. If she really wanted to marry the prince of her own will, he wouldn't have had any problems. But he knew his mother was forcing her in one way or the other.

And he didn't want his sister to marry against her will.

He wanted her to be free.

But he had to agree, this situation was anything but fun.

"What do you suggest I should do?" Theo stared at Voli and John.

John shrugged and just stayed quiet. He didn't have an answer.
