Not able to say her last goodbye.
This tormented Iria Alewine. If she could at least see her friend's body for one last time by risking her life, she was willing to do it countless times but... this was about time. It was beyond her ability or control.
She never hated to be away from her homeland as much as she did now!
"This is what Her Highness wanted, Commander," Rion uttered. "If you didn't carry out the task just for her, she won't be able to forgive herself. You know how much she loved the kingdom and the people."
When Iria heard Rion's words, she glanced up at the sky again. "Right now... I'm tired of everything. I want everything to end."
Rion had never once imagined that his Commander would say such things! This was the complete opposite of the Masked Commander from his memory! As such, his mind went blank and he couldn't utter a single word.
I started publishing my 2nd Historical novel today. Kindly check it out and add it to your library if you like it.
The title is 'DEFYING THE STARS: Falling For An Enemy'
It is the story of star-crossed lovers who are quite similar to Arin and Iria here :) Hope you give a try!
You can find in on my reading list 'Pearys World' in my profile :)
