She frowned, Matthias did always see things clearly. “My aunt has always been more weary of others. I’m sure she has rubbed off on them. I just prefer to be friendly. I always saw good in you too.” It was just masked by layers or damage in abuse. He had a stone cold face when they first met but his eyes were soft, almost gentle. From the moment she saw him she couldn’t help but want to hear of his adventures and go on her own with him. “She might have slipped out while I’ve been staying with you but if you are ever keen on it, we could always do a trip home.” Matthias was born to be a poet for his words could always make he blush. “I love you. I hope you know how much I do. I would do anything for you even if my own morals told me not to.” He had done everything to protect her and pushed his own beliefs for her and in return she would do the same. “You are right. He is just so darling. Though, I do not think I would be able to handle the pressures of being unwed and with a child. I’ve broke a lot of rules but I rather not push that one.” She chuckled. The whispers and backlash would be far to much to handle. She already had given her maidhead away to the enemy. Having a child out of wedlock with him would only flue the flame to her families fire. “I want to marry you because it feels right not because we have too.” Anissa added, snuggling the Sampson into the crook of her neck. She carefully set him on her lap so he would be able to see the book. It captured is attention enough to soothe the crying. Her heart grew as she saw the way he interacted with the child. He was a natural. “Oh, yes. I think he does. No one told us we got a little king on our hands.” She bounced her leg slowly in hopes to help him get to sleep.
“That is fair, your family had kept her powers a secret for years. She was afraid of being used. I am happy you saw the good in me, I do not know what type of man I would have been now if you didn’t.” Would he have hated her, most likely not. Matthias couldn’t hate her, even if he so desperately tried to. “A trip home...To your parents? Do you think they would like that, using going home I mean? What if they call the guards?” Though he wanted to see her family, he was fearful of the reaction. What if they did not like him? Matthias was sure they would be hostile at the start, though he would try hard to win them over. “I love you too Anissa, always and forever. I would hope nothing ever happens that you have to go against your own morals. But I will tell you, I would do anything you ask of me.” Whatever it was, Matthias would do for Anissa. It had not mattered the issue, he would give his life up because of his love for her. “No, I would not want to put that on you. Besides you will have your own children soon enough and that would be enough to handle then. Right now we must deal with caring for Sampson and getting him home while also getting ready for the backlash of my family.” He was sure Anissa’s family would come after him soon enough. He was waiting for the moment, let them beat on him for their own relief. In the end Matthias had hoped they would come to a conclusion, finally figure out that Matthias truly cared for Anissa. “That is the only reason I want to marry you, because we both want that.” And he had planned to marry her because of his love for her and not the fact that they had a child out of wedlock. Shining the book over, Matthias flipped the page and begun to read the first several paragraphs. He would stop every once in a while, present the picture over so Sampson could see. “Are you tired yet little one?”
