The Princess's second chance
I didn't want that to happen.
Suddenly, a voice behind us shouted, "Wait!" and I turned to look.
The man running towards us was almost flawless, dressed in simple clothes, with a slightly flushed face, damp black hair, and captivating blue eyes. I was surprised to see the Grand Duke there. I felt embarrassed because of my simple clothes, but he didn't seem to be worried, as he was also wearing simple clothes and no insignia of his rank.
"I apologize for approaching you like that, prin..." Before he could finish, I covered his mouth with my hand. We were both in shock, and I quickly pulled away.
