Chapter 313: Chapter 313 : Never want to be the reason you shed tears

"Your majesty..." Jacob dropped

to his knees and grabbed the bars of his cell, his face turned up to look at king Gareth who was looking down at him with an unreadable expression. "Please your majesty I beg of you, allow me to see Eira one more time I implore you. I will accept any punishment for my involvement in all of this, but please allow me the privilege to see off the woman I love."

"The woman you love you say?" Gareth mumbled as he looked at the young elf. What did Jacob know of love? What this young elf felt for his daughter was possessiveness and obsession, because love could have never led him to perform such a selfish act.

"Tell me Jacob..." Gareth spoke calmly yet sternly, "if indeed what you felt for my daughter was love, why did you opt to use a potion to earn her affection? Even if that potion had not been poison, would you really have called what you and her would have had love?"
