Even though I didn't want to see the world anymore, there was still one thing I wanted to see. I wanted to see the man one more time. Even my mind could visualize his red eyes clearly.
"Cecillia, come with me. I would give anything for you."
I could feel the comforting warmth of his hand. I had never felt like this before, not even when I was with King Theodore.
"I'm married now."
His low growl could be heard clearly in my ear. Was the man mad?
"How can you get married when I already told you that we are mates?"
"Because if I don't, then Northendell will destroy Birwick."
I wasn't really sure about my answer. Was it true because of that, or was it because I had given up and had no other choice? My father and mother silently pushed me to go. I couldn't stand their cold attitude. Besides, Mirai's life was threatened because my father didn't want to let her escape. If I agreed to go, then my father would let Mirai go.
