I-I felt something inexplicable surging into my heart... as if... as if... I.... I.... No, NO!!
Then his gentle voice reached me, breaking through the turmoil.
His words were like a soothing balm to my wounded spirit, "You don't need to worry, Princess... Even if I were to marry another, a part of my heart will always be there for you."

A whirlwind of emotions surged within me, a conflicting mix of feelings that shouldn't exist for a slave...
For heaven's sake... HE IS A SLAVE!!!!
I-I must distance myself, gather my thoughts, and take a deep, steadying breath.
Just as I moved to leave, Aether's concerned voice stopped me short. "Are you alright, Princess? Can I get you something? Here, I've packed some water," he said, offering me a bottle with such care that my heart ached even more.
Meeting his worried gaze, I sensed his concern was solely for me.
ONLY ME!!
