So that was it? The last time I’ll ever see you… just like that?
No time for goodbyes. No promise to meet again. No gesture of support. Just a stupid shout: “Go.”
I told you to leave. I ordered it. I yelled. For the last time. Probably.
Was it treason? Of course it was. I misled the guards; I warned a wanted man. Now I’ll have to lie and fake failure.
Had I really fallen so hard that I was ready to abandon my loyalty and honor so easily? I had.
I’d rather be a criminal than let you be accused with no proof and sacrificed for nothing—just for my father’s new wife’s entertainment.
Maybe you were right, and my stepmother’s a troll. A real one. Who cares.
Just make it through. You’re so clumsy, so fragile, so inattentive… Handsome. Kind. Reliable. Run. Run as fast as you can.
