"Richard, we need to talk." I said immediately I found him.
"Annabelle, we are not going to argue about this. I have decided that is the best thing to do." He replied calmly as he looked at me with a cold stare.
"Do you even love me?" I asked.
"Of course I do." He replied.
"Then why would you choose this? How will you expect me to kill you if Thogos possess you during battle?" I said quietly and tried not to cry.
"I made that choice because it's for your protection. You are the future queen, so stop thinking emotionally about this situation. You must act like a queen Annabelle so we can live in peace." Richard answered.
"No, I can't and I won't kill you." I cried before falling to my knees, my eyes shut tight.
I heard him sigh and then felt his arms around me.
