It seemed as if they shared an inexplicable understanding, even though it was their first meeting, just like at this moment.
When Elizabeth opened her eyes and secretly turned to look at the man beside her, the praying man opened his eyes at the same moment. Both instinctively looked at the person next to them, separated by a distance, and thus noticed each other's actions...
Elizabeth had nothing to hide. She merely parted her lips and looked at him. The young man before her met her gaze neither humbly nor arrogantly but retreated slightly under the gaze of her slightly flickering, piercing golden eyes.
"..."
They didn't exchange any extra conversation, just both amazed that the other had done the same action as themselves.
To avoid making the other feel awkward, Elizabeth, and the young man before her, wanting not to overstep and offend the princess, seemed to both intend to get up and leave simultaneously, as the prayer seemed to have ended. Thus, they stood up together.
