you think I asked for this? She asked Any of this? I've had every single decision made for me my entire life. She found her hands wide, illustrating her point a little too well. Jones. 10 parties Liz BET I don't have a mind of your own Liz bet. Or what about the thought in every person's mind I've ever met? Can't you just do what you're told and dial ready this bet Her hand covered her mouth the moment the vicious words escaped her lips. They'll had loosened a tongue too far on the stricken expression on mats, face stilled, even her breath. I'm not even allowed to openly mourn my losses, because how selfish would it be considering the suffering of the entire kingdom rests on my shoulders? Lasers hands shook as she unwrapped the scarf from around her hair, dropping it unceremoniously to the floor. Between them, Matt's hand dropped two aside and his eyes grew wide. She couldn't take the words back. Now they couldn't ignore it anymore. The time had come. We've been circling around this for Dave. Haven't way both too afraid to talk about who I am. The sacrifice, the kingdom, hot tears burned in her eyes, distorting his handsome face. Matt nodded, and she noticed the deliberate way he swallowed his words. Has a Adam's apple bobbed as he sat in a spindly chair across the room from her. She fought hard to keep her face from crumpling. When did you figure out who really wass? She managed to, took out her voice thin and a naturally high pitched. My first met you. But when you didn't tell us who you were, I let you think. We haven't figured it out. His voice was rough, filled with unspoken regret. The knowledge that he'd known the entire time thudded into a gut. She reached up to what the tears that had fallen down, her cheeks blinking rapidly. She raked in a shaky breath and kept going because you wanted to have the Crown Princess of Aegis indebted to you all to use me as a bargaining chip. It wasn't a question had already admitted to it. Matt Size worldwide hearing her full title ring in the tepid air between them, the clear green of his eyes dark into jade glass ing over as he stared into some far off distance. He didn't bark at her accusations. They both knew the truth. Instead, he squared his shoulders and levelled his eyes at her. I bound myself to you with the oath are made. You could have used your royal star tous at any time to force me to do anything you wanted. Even when I admitted to you that I had been planning to turn you over to Lord Calumet Fang gone, you could have still forced me to do anything you wanted. But you never did. And notify crept into his web, and there's closed her eyes to listen to him, her heart thumping erratically. In fact, you treated me. You treated us with respect. There's opened her eyes, slowly noting the wayward strands of golden hair sticking up at odd angles, from where he'd raked his fingers through it too vigorously. Why didn't you tell me who you were? Do you really distrust me so much? The questions came out hot, his eyes so unguarded and hurt that Liz is heart lurched and she bit back the urge to scream. He turned his eyes away on. No matter how she tried, he would not return her gaze a sudden distance. She had never felt before yawned open between them, a chasm she couldn't seem to cross. Ragged and desperate, she blurted out the truth without any thought to the consequences. Because I thought if you knew that I ran from my duty, caused the suffering of everyone in the kingdom because of my cowardice and selfishness, you could never look at me the same, she said, tears now clear in her voice. Matt still refused to look at her, so she continued on driving the dagger deeper, hurting them both because she didn't know how else to prove to him what she denied to herself all along. How could you ever care about me if I told you that my entire life was a lie? But for years I'd being cursed by the gods to see things before they came to pass that I've seen your fate and it's grim. No matter how hard I've tried to escape this bloody sacrifice, I seem destined to die, and no amount of studying or books is going to stop it. Matt looked at her. Then his eyes went. Don't say that his voice was so low she'd barely heard him. How could you have a care about someone like that. Her sniffles became sobs. Matt stairs her silent for so long that she couldn't stand it any longer. She turned her face away to mop up the tears on her cheeks and her sorrow all at once. He was across the room, pulling her up from her seat on the bed to stand on quaking feet. His hands twisted into her hair, and he crushed her against the armoire, blocking the door. His fingers brushed it her temple and traced to lips clear green eyes delved so deep into hers that she lost herself in them. They can nothing for fate, dumb fate. Damn the dragon and damn the rest of the kingdom. For all I care, his words were angry, angrier than she'd ever seen him. I love you, Liz, not for your crown or your curse. I love you because you infuriate me when you get ****** in taverns and sing until sailors cry. I love you because you criticise your rescuer for not rescuing you properly because it refused to save your own neck until you know your friends are safe. I love you because regardless of your station in life, You found a way to care about a ******* finding his father. You found a way to fill a void inside of me. I didn't even know, was there?
