"I heard from Theo that you were her former fiance. But that was in the past. Don't even try getting close to Ramira just because you know her before."
"I am not planning to harm her—"
"But it will still happen every time you get near her."
"Orpheus, why are you trying to get close to her? What is your motive?"
Orpheus cannot answer his question in an instant. Does he have a motive to get close to the princess? Maybe. But he never desires to hurt her. He just wants to sincerely apologize to her and ask if he can officially join them.
His reason is simple. He only wants to help Ramira and assist her with her mission to kill Ivan Bastella and help her build the kingdom she lost. Atleast he can pay for his sin of leaving her years ago without saying anything. He just wants to sincerely apologize and use his action to show that he is being honest and true to his words.
