Velder x Senace forbidden love!!!
“We should really stop meeting like this,” Velder growls.
Senace says nothing, his hands on the balcony railing and his blue cape fluttering in the wind. Velder’s own armor weighs heavy on his shoulders.
“Didn’t you hear me?”
“I did,” Senace acknowledges. Velder grits his teeth and strides to Senace’s side.
“We’re at war,” he snaps. “We need to stop this affair.”
“Are we truly at war?” Senace asks.
Velder stares. “Thousands of soldiers die in battles every day for us. Yes, we are at war. With each other, in case you didn’t recall.”
“Though the soldiers fight, my merchant ships still dock at your shores,” Senace says. “Trade passes between us as peacefully as ever. My country depends on the food produced from the plenty of the Earth El. If you truly wanted to win, you could simply starve us. Likewise, your country depends on the magical expertise, healers, and innovation of mine. If we truly wanted to win, we would turn all our resources to the effort.”
“If we’re not fighting with all our hearts, then, what would you call this?” Velder asks. Senace raises his eyebrows.
“A lover’s quarrel, perhaps?”
Velder can’t find a suitable answer to that, so instead he turns away. “My people are asking me to stop these visits. Until we can manage to settle our differences, we will not speak like this again,” he growls.
“Sure,” Senace agrees. “But will you be able to stay away, truly?”
Velder knows the answer to that.
“Yes,” he lies, and storms out. Senace’s laughter lifts his heart before he can think to be angry about it.
