Chapter 523: Spring Castle    

"You'd rather kill a noble and get us into trouble than kiss me and get over with it? I got to say . . . this is a first." Elena didn't know what expression to portray.

"Am I ugly?" she suddenly asked, face serious to pass it as a joke.

Ren moved ahead, ignoring her. "No, you're beautiful, and anyone who said otherwise is blind."

"Then . . ."

"But I don't want to betray my girlfriend." Game or not.

Elena's wrinkled brow loosened, and she smiled once more. "I didn't know that you're the romantic type."

"I'm not. It's the normal thing to do," answered Ren.

Elena hopped towards Ren and caught up to him. The thing with the noble Fey had disappeared from her mind entirely. "So, is this girl Evie your girlfriend?"

Ren stopped at Evie's name and answered calmly, "Yes." Before he moved forward without another word.
