Adrian didn't appear fazed by Hye Jin's intrusion into his room. He looked at the foreign princess and raised an eyebrow. [color=00aeef]"Your presence in my room is hardly appropriate. You are, after all, to be Adam's wife soon,"[/color] he gestured towards Alessandra. [color=00aeef]"Alessandra, on the other hand, have every right to be here. If I command her to stay by my bedside the entire night, do you think she has freedom to refuse?"[/color]

A momentary look of irritation flashed across Hye Jin's face. She cleared her throat. [color=red]"I could not sleep,[/color] she admitted and she fidgeted a little as though what she wanted to say embarrassed her. [color=red]"I thought I would come and speak with you about my marriage..."[/color] she paused. [color=red]"I was originally promised to you, Prince Adrian. And I am only to wed Prince Adam because both the king and queen feared that you were dead. But you have returned. And naturally, the original promise should be fulfilled,"[/color] she spoke boldly, her eyes focused solely on the crown prince.

Adrian listened patiently to what Hye Jin had to say. When she had finished, he nodded his head. [color=00aeef]"We will discuss this matter in the morning,"[/color] he said.

An honest look of relief washed over Hye Jin's face. She smiled at the Prince. [Color=red]"Then, I shall see you at breakfast?"[/color] she asked. When Adrian nodded, she gave him a wider smile before bowing and leaving the room.
