Beating Heart

Aeryon sighed and then said

"I promise you that as long as you are married to me, I would treat you as my wife" he paused for a second, close his eyes for a second, opening it back a second later and then he said "I did not lie when I said that"

" I am giving you a chance. In four or five years, I would let time decide. Whether you could be trusted. Or your tribe could be trusted"

"I do not need another warrior by my side. I do not need another strategist. I need someone who I could share my dreams with. My ambition. Someone who could be a family to me. A mother of my child. A wife of mine. A lover of mine. I do not need…..a spy" 

"What if I want to be those things?" she ask. 

"Then be"

"But do not be with me"

"I have no need for that. Everything has its role and every role is important. Just because you don't think it is important doesn't mean it is not. Too much cook spoil the broth. And you do not need to accept it."
