The Young Duke certainly wouldn't want the Prince to treat him as if he was nothing. His heart was terribly shaken by the words that Clyde has said and fear crept in every inch of his body. A fear so big and powerful that he do not dare imagine it
"Y-Your Highness..." Ryden nervously mumbled as he gulps hard
The Prince with tears flowing down his enchanting eyes were looking at him with determination
It feels like the moment Ryden head out, Clyde would instantly forget him despite how hard that sounds and those tears are proof of that
Ryden never wants to see the Prince crying from pain. Those tears should only be reserved for happy moments and not in this type of scenario
The only thing that Ryden wants to do at that time was to wipe those tears away along with the pain that causes it
"I-I ask you t-to c-choose! L-leave now or s-stay with me f-forever as my l-lover! T-that's the only o-options! C-choose!"
