"His Majesty… is the only family I have," he whispered, causing her brows to raise. "That is why I want him to be happy more than you. Don't thank me, because no matter which angle we look at it, I betrayed you one way or another."
"It's in the past now, and many things had already happened."
"I envy you. You have a loving family who will die just to protect you," he continued, ignoring her understanding remark. "The more I get to know Rikhill, the more I tell myself, what's so bad if she experienced hell in the hands of that man? You lived a good life, so two years of pain should be nothing."
