"Since my future is now hers, take care of her as you would have done for me," I said coldly, moving his hand away before he could touch me further.
"If you really want this affair to be over, let me just have a taste of what is rightfully mine. I will burn the agreement myself," he replied with a hint of menace.
I forced a polite smile, "I am flattered, your Highness, but I do not wish to sign this agreement," I said firmly, though the truth was that I didn't want to—yet, I had already signed, knowing it was against my will. "Nevertheless," he said with a smirk, picking up the papers, "this is your wish, your Highness."
Then, holding my waist, he pushed me against him, stroked my face, and whispered, "What a shame, my queen—you wouldn't have regretted it." Releasing me, he commanded,
"Open the door." I couldn't stay in that room any longer. Bowing silently to the Crown Prince, I quickly made my way out, my heart pounding. The next day, I asked to leave Den Castle; I felt unsafe staying another moment. The thought of remaining under the same roof as the man who nearly assaulted me yesterday filled me with dread—I had no choice but to run, to protect myself from further harm.
-Sir Léon view
Two days later, at night. "Léon," she called, but I could not stop my haste. " Léon! Why are you bringing a baby into our home?" Asked my Mother, "Mother, I am saving a life right now," I replied, "It is just a baby! What kind of life does it have?" She said, I stopped and looked at her with a straight eye "What kind of life does it have? Mom, if your child were about to die, but you still had a chance to save them. Would you still say the same thing? A duchess, a highness, instead of protecting your people, you are wishing for their death? What would be our nation without its people?" I was walking eagerly to the house clinic. "Zexar Léon de Valdest, if you take one more step, I might kill you! "She shouted, "Then kill me, I would rather die while saving a child than sit here doing nothing." I kept on going, though she is my mother, I was still thinking that I could have been gone by now, but still, to me, the most important thing to do was to save the child.
