Devon swallowed down the frustrating tension in her throat while staring deep into his sincere eyes. Should she tell him? Or not? Her lower lip trembled as it parted, but she closed them again.
The only reason she was hesitant to tell him about it was that it was Quentin — the real one. She knew him and was aware of what he could do. Moreover, he was Lewis' brother in this life.
So, she could not help but asked herself if she should tell him or fix this herself.
"I... couldn't fix this myself, can I?" came out in a helpless whisper, realizing that she held no power in this world. Although it was almost the same in her previous world, she had a title to uphold.
That title, the empress, had given her greedy allies who wanted to use her as the figurehead and dethrone the emperor. How about in this life?
"Love." Lewis let out a deep sigh while cupping her cheek. His eyes never left hers as he nodded reassuringly.
