Elena's bleeding

Christian immediately closed his eyes, the words Romaria had just said pierced his chest. The promise that Elena had made to never take off the ring no matter what happened replayed in Christian's head.

"And since I have conveyed Miss Elena's last message to you, I would like to convey my resignation as your servant, sir," added Romaria hoarsely.

"What?!"

Romaria smiled, her hand slowly moving to wipe the tears that rolled down her cheeks. "I have given up, I can no longer bear to witness all your cruelty, young master. I need time to calm down from all that has happened over the past few months. Seeing a young girl who is so tenderly crying almost every day makes my mentally unstable. Especially with the news on television that has surfaced over the last few weeks, I really can't afford to continue working for you, sir."
