Liam spoke with a broken expression "Even if I want to just forget all these rules and be with her I can't as she already has a fiancé and she does not love me".
Listening to this Rayan exclaimed in shock "What?..." Then closed his mouth instantly remembering where they were and then spoke in whispers "Lea is engaged to someone else?".
"Yes…" then Liam told about the conversation he had with Lea on the day of the attack.
"Though I know we can't be together I am still not able to get over her, every time I see her smile my heart skips a beat and when I see her sad my heart bleeds.
Even after knowing my condition will only worsen staying near her, I can't bring myself to stay away from her.
I don't know what to do man…"
Looking at the pathetic look of his best friend Rayan did not know how to help him.
"Liam I seriously feel that you should have a proper conversation with Lea and end this once and for all"
"What conversation should I have? She already said she has someone else in her life that's the end of it".
"If that was the end of it you would not be acting like this,
Before you had to hide certain things as you could not disclose your identity but now that is not the case.
Ask her if she loves you or not because I don't remember you telling me that she said she does not love you"
"How does that make any difference? Even if she says that she loves me I can't be with her" Liam asked frustrated.
"Yes, indeed, you guys can't be together but if one has to move on from certain feelings one needs to have clarity first only then can they find the strength in them to make a proper decision.
When you are running away just by hearing that she has a fiancé how will you move on? So please Liam leave all the other factors like her fiance or our rules to the side and speak to Lea.
When you know the actual truth you will yourself know how to move on" Rayan said as he placed a comforting hand on Liam's shoulder.
Liam just nodded in understanding
As their conversation came to an end the girls came out of the private room laughing happily.
Looking at them Lian's and Rayan's expression became normal.
Spotting them standing near the lift Alisha called out to them.
"Hey, why are you both standing here? Did you find the shoes?"
Rayan answered shaking his head "No… did not find anything that I like. What about you both?"
"Yes we found some good collection today, it was so hard to decide which to take and which one to leave".
"That's good, now we don't have to go from one shop to another searching" Liam commented in a teasing tone.
"Heyy… if you don't like shopping you should not have come with us in the first place and now you are trying to blame us here?" Alisha said angrily.
"I did not come for you, I came for Lea as she has just recovered from poison I am sure you would have worn her out if no one was there to stop you" Liam rebuked.
"You…" Alisha pointed her index figure towards Liam in anger unable to come up with a proper comeback.
At this moment Lea intervened "Okay… enough of this now. Stop fighting both of you".
On the other side in the place once the group left for the enchanted market another portal door was activated and two young lady. This portal door was used by the dragon warriors to travel to the human world.
