A Cruel Love

"Rizelle..." His wife's silence had become so torturous for Prince Nicien that he felt like he was about to go crazy.

Not to mention that he noticed the pain and rage in her eyes at the same time! This was what he was afraid of but... it's not like he could turn back time!

It was too late now.

"Please talk to me," Nicien Vamieres muttered when the silence went on for too long that he even struggled to sit still. Leaning towards the Princess and with both his palms nervously pressing together on the table between them, he was looking at her with a mixture of guilt, fear, and torment.

He was once again reminded of just how much he feared losing her. Even at that time, he was still full of greed and he hated himself for that. After all, he knew very well that she was much safer and free of torment without him in her life. Then... he finally heard her voice.

"You lied to me," Princess Rizelle muttered; her voice was low and even lifeless at some point.
