She hardly knew how tempting her voice sounded at that moment.
Yet Jose backed away from Avie a little.
He only pinched her chin.
"Do you know who I am now?" he asked, looking down at her.
"Your Highness…" Avie called out again, her voice filled with pleading, "Your Highness…"

With tears threatening to spill, she looked at him miserably, struggling.
"So, tell me!" Jose suddenly leaned down, gripping Avie's chin tightly, his gaze intense as he looked into her eyes, "The woman who is worth all my efforts, do I love her or not?"
