Though what the Avarian Princess said wasn't that unexpected, it caused a sting in Landyn's heart.
How did they reach this situation?
Once upon a time, they used to be the closest companion. She used to trust him more than anyone else and he used to live for her without expecting anything in return.
Now, everything was gone as if they never existed.
Though he knew that it was his decision to live as Landyn that turned them into the way they were now, it still hurt.
How he wished they never crossed paths again!
Even that wish was shattered when she bumped into him that night in the royal palace of Aslirith.
"That's not up to me," Landyn finally spoke up after what felt like hours. "Even if I don't say anything to Her Majesty, the spies will already send her the report on what happened last night. This was why I wish to stop you, Your Highness. Though I don't serve you anymore, I don't want any bad things to happen to you."
