The day was fast to end and the Crown Prince hadn't found the time to talk alone to Felicia without Alexander backing her. In the end, he only has Felicia's time when she escorted him back to his carriage, along with his companions at their back.

"Tell me, Felicia. Is what Helena claimed that you forced her to extort her ability to you is true?" He opened up as they were on the way towards his carriage.

Felicia couldn't help but let out a chuckle, confusing Constantine as to why he suddenly laughed. It's as if she was confirming Helena's tale earlier about it. Meanwhile, Felicia couldn't help but laugh as well.

She already figured out that she would do that to the Crown Prince, and she did. Felicia has already expected it, as expected of Helena who craves attention from everyone, trying to ruin her.

"Why are you laughing?" Constantine asked as he entangled his arm around Felicia and turned to face her, his brows furrowed and bewildered at her laughing. She couldn't help it.

"Well, I am just amused at how she managed to bewitch everyone with a lie that even the servants in the manor had seen her. But it is within your scope, your Highness. To whether her words or not. I really don't care anyway." Felicia replied, smiling ever so sweetly at Constantine's dumbfounded expression.

"You... You are confusing me." Constantine said, rubbing his temples while his face crumpled. "Are you that vile to force her to use her strength? She's weak—"

"Your Highness."

A sudden cold chill ran down Constantine's spine, flinching at how her voice suddenly changed its tone, from a cocky tone down to a cold shivering tone. His heart even froze at that line she mumbled, enough for him to shut his mouth.

"Please keep your opinion to yourself. It's not my part to explain and I am tired of defending myself. What you hear is what you treat as right. So, I do not need your opinion on whatever Helena whispered in your ear." She stood clear, firm and straight, looking directly into his eyes with an expressionless face.

She's done with defending herself towards the haters. So why not let them bark at her? They don't even know how to bite back.

"It's not my problem, it's your inability to discern credibility and gather points of view that makes the problem." She added, sighing in disappointment while Constantine just stood there, feeling like his damn pride had exploded from her words.

Silence filled the air as Constantine just stared at him in disbelief, feeding him with shame through her vicious and cruel words, making him paint as the villain in this tale. This makes no sense to him.

He was just giving her a proper nag to stop attacking the Saintess or she might face some serious consequences in the church. But in the end, she just called him a fool, insulting him.

"You don't get to talk like that to me..." Constantine mumbled, his hands balled into fists as he stared at the ground. Meanwhile, Felicia just let out a sigh and rolled her eyes. There he goes again, using his position.

"That will only happen if you decide to break off our engagement, your Highness. So please pull up the haste and end this thing between us." She replied, folding her arms.

He was getting bullied a lot by Felicia yet he still didn't want to break up the engagement between the two of them. What in the hell is he thinking anyway?

"I don't want to." He mumbled, making Felicia's ear deafen at what he replied. He doesn't want to? Again? Is he secretly a masochist who loves pleasure in this kind of setup? That's creepy.

"What?"

"I said I don't want to!" He yelled, glaring at her for pushing him to the edge of anger. "No matter if you bleed or not, beg or cry, I will never break out this engagement of ours! Get that? Because you are mine! No one else can have you but me!" He continued, turning his back against her and stormed off towards her carriage.
