'' Does she know?'' Izaak asked. '' No,'' Valentine refused. With a dreadful expression Izaak looked at Valentine and said, '' Keep your children away from my princess instead of pressuring her, or else before that damn curse kills them, I will throw them in the never-ending darkness.'' Valentine was confused by Izaak's reaction regarding Valentiara's curse. Doesn't matter what but his reaction wasn't normal at all if not he has some special feelings for Valentiara. When realization hit Valentine he couldn't help but utter the lingering question inside his mind,'' Are you asking for self-destruction by wanting that child?''
Izaak rose his left eyebrows, '' What do you mean?'' Valentine exclaimed anxiously, '' I told you, loving that child is equal to suicide yet you are choosing to love her? Have you lost your mind?''
Izaak's eyes widen hearing the word called LOVE, a lingering yet warm feeling he gets whenever he looks at Valentiara, a sense of possessiveness and anxiety that he never felt in his life, the jealousy he felt when he saw her with Atticus, the fear he felt when he couldn't find her, the relief he felt after seeing her safe, the anger he felt when he saw her tears, a feeling of protecting her, destroying everything just to keep her safe, he didn't think about that as he was going with the flow. The feeling was new to him so he didn't know what to call it but when Valentine mouthed the word, Love, he knew what to call his feeling. A soft smile appeared on his lips as he realized what he feels for her. He looked into Valentine's eyes confidently and said,
'' That's right, I love her, I am In Love with Valentiara. What's wrong with that?''
'' You will be destroyed, you will lose everything in your life, I told you,'' Valentine said with a disbelief expression on his face. Izaak chuckled and looked at the night sky. It looked clear and a star was shining brightly in that dark sky.
'' I have nothing to lose except the star that god sent in my life most abruptly and no way will I lose it to a curse.''
Valentine noticed a glimmer of shine in Izaak's monster red eyes while looking at the star. The smile on his lip was soft and warm like spring morning sun as if he was thinking about the most precious thing in his life.
'' You are truly unfortunate fellow Grand Duke, seeing how lovingly you called Valentiara's mother's name after losing her last sign of existence in your life it seems like you long for her but,'' Izaak turned his head and with a calm face he said, '' You lost the most precious part of her for your cowardness.''
Saying that Izaak opened the portal and vanished away. Valentine felt his leg giving up and he falls to his knees. The pain in his heart started spreading all over his body as he clenched on the ring as tightly as he could.
Coming back to the Moon Palace Izaak was greeted by anxious Mark in front of his room.
'' Your Highness, You are back?'' He ran toward Izaak. '' Is she awake?'' The first thing he asked was about Valentiara. Mark let out a sigh of relief when he asked that because that meant Izaak hadn't gone rampage.
'' Maids have changed her clothes into comfortableness and she is still sleeping,'' Mark said while smiling. Izaak's stoney face turned soft hearing that. '' That's great. For breakfast make something light and delicious. She likes spicy and meaty things.'' Mark was shocked to know that Izaak knew about Valentiara's favorite food, '' Your Highness knows about Lady's favorite type of food! That's new.''
Izaak ignored his words and opened the door of his room. Seeing how softly he closed the door Mark knew, His master had finally opened his heart to someone.
Watching Valentiara sleeping soundly, Izaak for once thought is this possible for someone who suffered so much to be like her? Izaak took her left hand and rolled up her sleeves. He closed his eyes and mumbled, '' If you are cursed, Show The Sign!''
Valentiara's hand which didn't have a single scratch was covered with Amaryllis. Izaak felt his heart shaking watching that red amaryllis. He glanced at Valentiara and kissed the place where Amaryllis was and it vanished just like before.
''I swear on my faith in Almighty, you are the only sun in my life and I am the moon which shines depending on your light.
I am in love with you, Princess''
