HANNA was surprised when Nero returned to the hall with a frown on his face.
[He rarely shows his grumpiness to the public.]
Fortunately, the Crown Prince went straight to her. And now that he was closer, she could see that his eyes were red and puffy.
[Did he cry?]
"Hanna," Nero said, holding her hand. "Should we get some fresh air?"
She didn't like how Nero ignored her parents who were standing behind her, but she just let it slide because she could see that the Crown Prince hadn't completely calmed down yet.
[Something definitely happened.]
Hanna turned to her parents with an apologetic look on her face. "Mother, Father, I'll step out for a moment with Nero."
Her mother looked worried, but the duchess nodded nonetheless. "Alright, sweetheart. Take care."
"Thank you, Mother."
"Your mother and I will stay here," her father said while eyeing Nero carefully. "Call us if something happens."
