"Our swords? Only that?" Prince Evan was surprised. Even the others looked confused. They must be expecting a bigger price.
"Yes. Your swords has the ensign of your kingdoms as royalties. I want to add it to my collection."
I bit my lower lip as I looked at the princes. How could I have a heart to fail them? They hava taken so much pains just to get to this point. And thinking about the very kind queen that reminds me of my own mother… How can I fail her?
'Oh, please. Don't tell me you would do it?' Raja's voice echoed in my mind. 'I shouldn't have relayed the message to you. You shouldn't do it, my lady. Their problem is not yours anymore. I'm sorry if I sound selfish here, but this is your life we are talking about. By agreeing to the healer, that means you will have to marry his son. How will you pursue your main goal if you will do that? And how about Demitri? You will just leave him like that?'
