505 Protecting The Future

 Shasta smiled at him; "So you're not worried that the new Queen of Ruscovic is going to kill Alcon's next King? Won't your Senators be upset with you for marrying someone so crazy?"

 "Like I could give two shits about any of that right now! I love you, Shasta. I want us to spend our lives together-at least mine. If you go back, you'll die," Lawrence replied with torrid emotions in his eyes.
