Her Goal (Ch.521)

"But..." King Jian asked, already knowing Neveah had more to say.

"But I...Xenon... I have done Xenon a great wrong. And I do not know how to face that...face him." Neveah murmured in a heavy tone.

King Jian was quiet for a while, and Neveah winced visibly. She knew this situation was complicated for her, but it was no different for King Jian also.

Xenon was his brother and she, his true bonded to whom he had a rightful claim.

"Face him? Or face the feelings you have for him?" King Jian asked in a deep tone.

"I..." Neveah began but she did not have the right words, she did not think there were any words that were right for this.

Hurting King Jian was the last thing Neveah wanted to do, but denying Xenon was something she just could not do.

"Neveah... what are you truly scared of? That Xenon will be unable to let you go? Or that he will?" King Jian asked again, this time he fixed Neveah with a questioning look.
