บท 523: One More Embarrassment, Love

[ALANOR]

"I wanted to be the man you— would look at and be able to love freely without thinking twice. Of course, I knew you loved me without question. But baby, I wanted to be someone you wouldn't be ashamed of. 

"So I stepped into the kingship as a challenge, like I wanted to prove that I could be of good use to you, if ever the day came when you were weak and needed help. I did things that my former self would cringe at, and yet now that I can look back, I don't think I'll ever be good enough for you, my Unar. 

"In my imperfections, you loved and chose me, so let me choose you, love. Let me be there for you, beside you, through and through. Let me be the mate you need and can rely on. And don't worry about the future, my love. 

"Mom already fixed it. We're free. You're free, love. You didn't have to worry anymore. Just let me love you, let me be anything You want me to be.
