Chapter 48: I'll save your sister so run away with me.

Kein's POV

"Can we... Can we be friends again?"

I managed to mutter it out. I feel like fainting from the beating of my heart.

Friends are better than this knight and princess role we have to play every time we meet.

It suffocates me, even if I am well aware it's my job and I don't have any right to complain about it but...

I really just missed her despite it all.

"I just... I want to go back to how it was before. Is that too much to ask?" I told Rose not to look her in the eye but at my neatly bandaged hands.

I could hear her taking a breather before replying, "Kein our relationship before cannot be salvaged to the present time."

"I am a princess, you are a knight. When you didn't know me as royalty I could be myself around you but now... even you're calling me your highness in a formal way." (Rose)
