It seemed their guess was not wrong at all.
Harold truly did have feelings for Zora.
Even knowing that she already had someone in her heart, those feelings still quietly lingered, unwilling to fade. Otherwise, he would never have said such words so openly, nor would he have repeatedly offended the two imperial princes for her sake.
Reesa and Tiffany both glanced at Zora with unmistakable envy. To be a woman like her was simply too enviable.
Prince Kael was peerless in talent and status, yet he abandoned noble ladies and fixed his heart on her alone. Now there was Harold as well, fully aware that Zora already belonged to another, yet still willing to stand against powerful enemies for her.
That kind of charm was truly terrifying.
Zora herself felt a trace of awkwardness. Harold's sudden words had caught her off guard, and even she found it difficult to respond naturally.
