The day of Luna's presentation ceremony. Adelina's pov: I woke up feeling extremely weak and tired. My mind is a mess. Maximus' term worries me. I didn't anticipate that. I never believed that he would set such term. He doesn't care about me and is completely irrational to oblige me to have a real relationship with him. Ι can understand that he wants me close to him in order to gain the throne, but I cannot figure out the reason he wants a relationship with me. What does he want to achieve? Why is he doing that? That's a big enigma for me. One thing I know for sure is that I don't want to be involved in a relationship with him. I do not believe that a love affair between us will flourish. There are no feelings between us. Anyway there is no use of torturing my mind about Maximus' plans.
