Now that Xan knows his beloved somehow dealt with him more than once, more than a lifetime.
"Hahaha..." The laugh was strained and cruel, both of Raxithak himself and to the prince. "Your highness, forgive my nonsense. Forget today ever happened. I... Just want us to get back to normal."
"Raxithak..." Alexander's voice came out more cracked than he intended. "I never thought..."
That's about his beloved's point of view on their relationship. The once-king was so hellbent on making things right on his side, be softer, be more careful, be more loving, but he never thought of how it would translate to the other side. Fuck, the thought of Raxithak remembering their last life never even crossed his mind.
