A Friendly Hug

Rose closed her eyes and tried to empty her mind. She wanted to be away from the royal palace as soon as possible. Now that she had attended the wedding and gave face to her family and the monarchs, she could plan her life and go out of Medion for good.

Rune didn't say anything after they got inside the car and went home. He knew this must be the hardest day of Rose's life.

He wished he could do more to make her feel better, but sadly, other than threatening Leon and those awful chicks, he couldn't do much to soothe Rose's feelings.

This was something that she needed to resolve on her own. She needed to love herself more than she loved Leon and her family and said enough was enough.

"Thank you," Rose suddenly opened her eyes and turned to Rune who was sitting in the backseat next to her.
