Chapter 61- A Long Awaited Reunion

--Valentino POV--

She was finally home. After 10 long years, she was back home.

What had I been thinking? Asking for her to marry me and leave the family that she had finally found. That was too selfish.

I stood there, staring at her cry in the arms of her mother whom she hadn't seen for 10 years. If she hadn't left that day to come to me then she would never have had to go through everything she went through in Lysandra.

This is my fault.

She wasn't able to see her family for most of her life because I had been selfish then and I'm being selfish now. True, the last time she was coming to me, I hadn't been too keen on getting married to a stranger back then but this time I had a choice.

If I was going to overthrow my father then I wanted Alexa to be as safe as possible and who better to keep her safe than the royal family of my rival Kingdom?
