Her voice carried resignation mixed with hurt, trying to push him away while simultaneously giving him permission.
Hearing that, he took a seat beside her on the bed, his voice becoming remarkably gentle.
"I know I might sound cruel, but I cannot do anything except take revenge on my brother. Yet, somehow seeing you hurt makes me feel strange."
As he spoke, he leaned forward to press a soft kiss to her forehead, his lips warm against her skin causing her eyes to flutter, closing before slowly opening.
Her eyes looked toward him, blinking in surprise at the unexpected tenderness as he continued.
"Will you want to start anew?"
"What?" she asked, confusion evident in her voice.
"Will you want to start everything as if we are lovers rather than being bound by those memories you have?" he elaborated, his voice carrying what seemed like genuine emotion.
She blinked, processing his words before responding, "Do you want me to forget you, my prince?"
