Letting Go of Longing; Helena & Louis

The two eyes were still staring at each other with a very close distance. Louis could see Helena's seriousness when she asked the things that were important to her.

"What is it, Your Highness? Can't you tell? Can I trust you now?" Helena asked, her eyes starting to well up with tears.

"What did he tell you, Helena?" asked Louis, the side of his jaw tightening as he asked Helena.

"A choice. Yes… Which choice are you going to put? Hhh… " Helena snorted in annoyance, and she had already averted her gaze from Louis.

Helena wiped her eyelids before the tears fell. After that, she straightened her face again, staring at Louis's face.

"I should have realized that from the beginning of my existence. I'm not needed. I am..." Helena paused for a moment, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Her chest even felt tight when she had to talk to Louis at that time.
