Offering Life

"I have already done enough for you!! So, just leave me alone!!" said Extalia.

Hearing this, King Leon gritted his teeth for a moment. 

"Li.. I mean.. Duchess Amberblaze, could you just forget our differences and focus on our current situation. Now, we are at war. Our soldiers are fighting for their life while we talk." said King Leon trying to change the topic.

"You soldiers.. Not ours." replied Extalia shortly.

Hearing this, King Leon released another long sigh. He knows how stubborn the woman on the other side is. Although he is the King of the Heart Kingdom and could easily order her around, he will never use his authority over this woman.

Then, the two of them stay silent as Extalia doesn't want to talk anymore and King Leon thinks hard to persuade Extalia. After King Leon feels like being tortured in silence moment for eternity, Extalia finally talks again and throws a ray of hope at him.

"Why now? Why me?" asked Extalia shortly.
