Hazel looked at the man for a long time and then tears started to form in her eyes and she shook her head.
"No! I can not take the risk! What if he had decided to attack our empire and kill all of us? I could not let that happen!" her words came out checking. As if she was getting drowned in the pressure. She shook her head and wiped her tears as she looked back at him.
Her eyes were filled with brimming tears which she was trying to control too hard! After coming back, the thing she had practised most was to bring tears to her eyes whenever needed. She was getting so perfect in it, that she was proud of herself.
His brows knitted in a thin line when he saw her breaking apart. Though he felt that his reaction was too exaggerated. He did not know if she was so broken-hearted or not. But he still felt that it was his responsibility to assure her that nothing would happen.
