A Man Of Honor

"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for what Ellena has done for our family. She is my good friend and I care about her deeply. However, she had gone for five years without news and I was mourning for her, thinking that she had died." Mars finally spoke. His words were clear and uttered in a calm manner.

"Ellena didn't talk to me before she went to search for the witch. Maybe she intentionally left without telling me because she didn't want me to stop her. She must know that I loved her as a friend and did not wish for harm to happen to her, just to free myself from the curse."

Mars could see there was a spark of confusion and disappointment in Ellena's eyes, even though her countenance still looked calm and timid as before.

He just knew her too well, after being friends with her for almost 20 years.
