"Really? Is he truly going to think like that?" Naya hugged Ruby even tighter. "I don't want Abell to leave me alone."
Naya already had no parents or family other than Abell. Naya would be completely alone in the world if her brother also died.
Ruby stroked Naya's hair softly and whispered, "He won't leave you, I promise."
Ruby's words calmed Naya's heart slowly. Her body became more relaxed, and tears no longer rolled down her cheeks.
For some reason, Naya was convinced that Ruby's promise was not just empty words but a promise that would come true.
"But Naya, you should also think about your own health." Ruby released their embrace and picked up a plate from the table. "You have to eat even if you have no appetite."
Naya wiped away her tears. "Does Your Majesty also eat even if you have no appetite?"
