The Princess wrapped her arms around Heinrich and hugged him tightly. Her eyes were finally crying and she needed to vent out. She didn't realize who she was hugging. She just needed a hug. Heinrich didn't pull away either.
Amidst her tears, the Princess murmured, "It is all my fault," Her voice was hardly audible, muffled by the intensity of her tears.
Heinrich tightened his arms around her, "No, it is not."
She shook her head constantly, her nose grazing Heinrich's collarbone. She clenched his coat tightly, unable to shake her tears off.
"I cannot say much. I am incapable." Heinrich uttered softly, "However, I am right here, right beside you. Do not be afraid to say anything. Whatever you tell me will only stay with me." He assured her in a gentle voice.
The Princess looked up at him with teary eyes. Her face was red and she was burning from all the crying. Heinrich looked back at her, gently supporting her weight by holding her arms.
