“Knight…please, can I talk to him? Just a few minutes is more than enough…please…” I whispered as I pleaded for his permission.
Reiner’s hand around my wrist tightened and I could feel his hesitation. Slowly, he turned to face me, and I stared up into his face. If I don’t talk to Charles now, I’ll have to talk to him later anyways so I might as well get this out of the way. It would be better for Charles, for me and for everyone. I owed Charles a huge thanks and also an explanation of sorts.
“Please let me talk to him. I really need to talk to him properly. Please trust me…” I begged determinedly as I stared up into Reiner’s blue eyes. I had just thought that I needed to be less stubborn and selfish but here I was…
Reiner seemed to hesitate while I prayed that he would just trust me on this. After a while of debating with himself, Reiner bent down and kissed my forehead.
