Truth (3)

Before Euan could even say anything about that person, Kyran more or less guessed who it was.

It was not hard to guess because there were only a few people who went missing in the Human plane who knew Cyneah's identity— or, at least, were aware of the possibility of her connection to the royal family.

Though knowing Cyneah could not see, Euan was reluctant to look her in the eyes. Because when he did, his heart constricted from both longing and guilt. Longing for being separated from her since that fateful day, and guilt for not even realizing that all these years, he had only been raising an essence as a daughter.
