Everything I heard on the way back to the palace was
"I'm sorry,"
"I'm sorry,"
"Please stop crying,"
"I'm sorry,"
My eyes hurt from all of the crying I've done from this morning. I know I don't look very pleasant at the moment so I buried my face on his neck so he couldn't see me.
It wasn't his fault and I want to tell him that. But I just couldn't bring myaelf to face him at the moment.
He walked from the forest back to the palace while he carries me like a bride and I was crying like there's no tomorrow.
But it has been minutes since I've calmed down.
The realization that I had lost my voice struck me like a lightning. I lost myself after that and didn't think of anything else.
And now I thought maybe it's time to tell him that it wasn't his fault and that he doesn't have to feel bad about leaving me there.
