Chapter 132: Death

“I know you will never believe me but I'm telling you the truth. Ashianna, I know I'm always harsh on you, and that is because I need to maintain my attitude as one of the trusted men of King Edward. I don't want him to be disappointed in me but...” he paused, as his eyes flickered once again. He seemed he didn't want to tell me about his secret but he didn't have a choice.

“I can't stop myself from falling in love with you,” he added, making me shocked and step back. His eyes formed tears before he sighed in relief as if he was glad he finally informed him about his feelings.

“W-What?” I asked. I didn't know what I was going to say but he laughed at me.

“I'm ready to help you because I want you all by myself. Seriously, despite they bullied you I know you're quite special. You got my attention from the moment you tried to escape when you fell from the cliff.” he whispered like he was ashamed of what he had been telling me. He licked his lips before he lowered his head to look at me.
