She was blind.
Believing that she was blind was hard.
She really wanted to believe that this was all a huge misunderstanding but it was not.
Axel distracted her and lured her here to be captured by these people.
It was the bitter truth.
Elira felt like an idiot as she slumped on the ground, the warm connection she felt between Axel and her wasn't a mutual blossom of love. No. It was the warmth from the knife of betrayal piercing deeper into her heart.
Minutes earlier, she considered Axel her first love.
Being someone with status who has a family keen on moving around, it was hard to make relationships.
Now, for once, she found someone who could make her take the brave path.
A hopeful path that might lead to a real relationship.
But that was nothing more than a façade.
Elira should've seen the writings on the wall, it was evident, but how could she? She was in love.
