The day the heir to the capital's most powerful circle regained his memories, I was working my third shift of the day at a bar.
Someone asked him what he planned to do about the pitiful little girlfriend he'd started dating while he had amnesia.
With his arm around his fiancée, he grinned carelessly. “What can I do? How could an ugly duckling ever compare to my princess?”
Everyone burst out laughing. I kept my head down and quietly walked away.
But later, when someone casually brought me up on the day of my wedding, everyone saw the heir to the capital's most powerful circle gaze out the window, his eyes suddenly red.
