Chapter 22

• Chloe nods, feeling a bit taken aback by the sudden mention of Aiden's feelings for her. She glances at Aiden, who looks at her with hopeful eyes. She feels a mix of emotions - flattered, confused, and a little scared.
• "Your Highness, I...I appreciate Aiden's feelings for me," Chloe says, looking at King Marcus. "But I'm not sure if I'm ready to make any decisions about my future just yet."
• King Marcus nods understandingly. "Of course, my dear. Take your time. We just want you to be happy and comfortable here."
