I arrive at the castle. Eve, Syl'Vyr, Faye, and Clarissa have come with me because they roughly know what happened between me and Esther, and I don't want to leave them at the mansion. Esther made it clear she doesn't want them there, so I have to take them with me.
We're in a carriage with the few things I brought. The silence is uncomfortable. I feel awful, like a horrible, hypocritical person.
Why did I treat Esther so terribly and ignore all the good she could have done, that I chose not to see? I preferred to see her as a villain who would never change, instead of a girl genuinely in love, trying to change.
And now that I've ruined everything, I can finally see she wasn't the villain I thought she was. Because of that, guilt eats away at my heart and my plans.
