Aerwyna's eyes slowly peeled open as a headache came back crashing, wincing she tried to remember what was the headache for. She took a shaky breath in something shattering inside her as she remembered his words. He accepted her but she couldn't. He loved her but she couldn't. Her responsibilities lay ahead of her. Her kingdom came first, but the mere thought of having het kingdom on the top of her priority list and him second made the gloomy feeling spread into her veins. It was awful.
