Adrian's mind was reeling with confusion at what he was doing. Why was he kissing Alessandra? Why was his heart racing? But even as he questioned himself, he didn't pull back. And when she responded to his kiss, he felt his heart beat a little faster than it already was. He reached up and then stopped.

There was a knock on his door, loud enough that he heard it from the balcony. 

He stepped back and ran a hand through his still damp hair. He glanced at Alessandra and noted how red her cheeks were. His eyes fell on her lips and for a moment, he thought about kissing her again. He blinked when the knock echoed in his room once more. Without saying anything, he walked back into the room just in time to hear a female voice call out.

[color=red]"Prince Adrian? It's Hye Jin,"[/color] the voice called out.

Adrian shook his head to clear it before he himself reached out and opened the door. He was met by the smiling foreign princess, an ornate wooden box in her hand. She gave him a polite bow. [color=red]"I have brought you some incense oil that would help with relaxation and improve your health,"[/color] she held out the box to him.

[color=00aeef]"Thank you,"[/color] Adrian responded in a neutral tone as he took the box offered to him.
