"Are you going back now?" Evalyn asked.
Nolan nodded. "Yes, I have to return to the Imperial Palace. My father summoned me to take care of something important."
Actually, he wanted to go to the Eastern Region to meet Elina. But last night, his father had sent a letter asking him to return as soon as possible.
He didn't know why his father had summoned him, but since the letter had been sent directly, it had to be important.
"I see…"
Evalyn's expression turned annoyed and uneasy.
Nolan naturally noticed her discomfort. He smiled and lifted her chin with his index finger.
"What's wrong? Are you sad that I'm leaving?" he asked jokingly.
Strangely, Evalyn didn't deny it. She fell silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked at him seriously.
Nolan was caught off guard. He didn't understand why her expression had suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?"
Evalyn remained silent. Then, she suddenly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips.
