When I heard him say that he would risk his life, a chill ran down my spine. My heart skipped a beat, and a suffocating dread settled in my chest.
I stared back at him in horror. He could have meant me. The thought that he might be willing to put himself in harm's way for me was terrifying. Normally I would melt at those words even though they didn't directly address me but not this time.
Today they only brought fear with them because he could die.
Hael kept his eyes on me, "But-" He didn't get to ask me because I stood up and walked away, my action confusing him.
I started making my way to the balcony
"My lady?" He stood up to come after me
"Don't call me that!!" I yelled as I glanced back but didn't even look at him properly before facing ahead and stepping out of the room, into the open air.
My words made him pause but I didn't look back at him, so I didn't notice the shock on his face, yet he didn't say anything.
My mind spiraled into chaos.
