Zephrun’s Imperium Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 "There's no fixin' me, Eleanor!" Nicolae giggled. Despite the laughter, however, he sounded quite grim. "I'm a sinner, I am, an' surely you knows it, or haven't you met me?" He broke down crying, yet still managed to laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condensation Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 "No, Nicolae! That's not true." Alienor set aside her napkin swan and pulled out a handkerchief, offering it to Nicolae. "It's not true." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted March 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Nicolae took the handkerchief and blew into it. "Ah, thank ya, miss. But with all due respect... I can't believes you." Quote ... Nicolae doesn't want her to be sorry. He kinda liked her when they met because he hoped she would see him differently - she was sweet and unlike the rest of the court, she didn't have any preconceived notions about him - but then she judged him just like that. And it made him realize, "No one is ever going to like me. If even someone brand new could see me the way everyone does, then I really will never be anything more than what they see me as." But the bigger thing? She's going to be queen. Liking her could land him an axe to the throat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
