Chapitre 104: Let Me Regret It

"Ah…" A soft, breathless sound escaped her lips, and her gaze slowly lifted to Rhaegar. His jaw was clenched, his expression taut with pain—and strangely, he looked as though he had suffered more than she had. 

Strange. Somehow, that kiss brought her comfort and relief as if his lips had healing powers. 

It took a moment for Lorelai to find the strength to move, but she managed to raise her hand and gently caress the king's cheek, just as he had done for her minutes ago.
