Acantha looked at her father when they arrived at their own house.
"Don't put the Empress's words on your head; they might think of you as a bad one, but I and the people in Klartis and Solaris think otherwise." The duke said as he kissed her forehead as he was assuring her.
Acantha just nodded at her father and walked to go to her room with Flamear.
When she was alone with Flamear inside her room, Acantha couldn't help the tears in her eyes.
She was raised to be tough, but sometimes a person needs to break down no matter how strong they are; after all, she was still a human who had some feelings.
To be hurt...
To be disappointed...
To be happy...
To be sad...
or
to get angry....
Acantha lay on her bed as she looked at her ceiling; she was really tired...
It feels like her energy has been drained, that she just wanted to lie there and do nothing...
She just wanted to help, and yet people will always think the worst of her and even make their own scenario.
