(Nicholas)
Seraphina and I prepared to leave the following day. I still wasn't sure what she saw in me, why she believed that I was different than the asshole of a man I was towards Isabella. But she did believe in me and there was no use in arguing with her over it.
Marrying Seraphina would give me back my title as a prince, and as much as it was my destiny, I didn't want it that way.
I did miss my castle a lot. It was where I grew up; it was handed over to me the moment I was old enough to take over. My parents left because they wanted a quiet life. Giving up on my home that easy wasn't something that I had intended.
I was so blinded by my love for Elara that it clouded my judgment. Looking back at the things that I had done in the past was nothing to be forgiven over. Yet, here I am on my way to Aurathia to reclaim my title as if I hadn't done any wrong.
