Chương 119: Stollen The Precious Time

When she started walking away, Cian decisively followed her. "If you have anything to say, say it to me. Don't keep it in your heart." 

Seren stopped walking but didn't look at her brother. Her words did not sound cold, but they had no hint of emotion either. "His Majesty had always kept me locked inside the tower and kept me away from the outside world saying it is to protect me, that I should never ever step out of the tower and should not mingle with others. But now, he is giving me away to some stranger from a faraway land. What His Majesty did all these years by confiscating my freedom, it is nothing now. It seems like there is no need to protect me anymore."

Cian understood what she meant. Even though she was not showing it, she must be hurting and thoroughly disappointed with their father. For nearly two decades, every single day of her life was spent like a prisoner, and she had long accepted her fate. This cruel move would definitely feel like a betrayal.
