Cedric sat in the corner, secretly staring at Thane and Celina. They were chatting more than usual. He clenched whatever was in his hand.
'Those two are close?'
'Are they from the same village?'
'Are they engaged? Wait! That shouldn't be any of my business, right?'
"Prince Cedric, have some water," a student interrupted his thoughts. He smiled and gently pushed it back to the student.
"Thank you. You'll need it more than I do,"
She smiled warmly and walked back to the other student. They were supposed to be squealing and getting excited, but because of the awkward environment they were in. They've lost a bunch of students who were their friends.
He looked away from the student and turned to look at Celina. Their eyes locked.
He continued to look at her, but she looked away from him.
He smirked.
"So, she's ignoring me,"
