Worth in Loyalty (Ch.809)

Lodenworth said nothing, though he was visibly shaken by her words and the truth in them. She was in pain, he knew that.

She knew him so well, she had seen his intent when she let him through the barrier. He had not bothered hiding it, he couldn't if he tried. She could bear to do that to him...but he couldn't do it to her.

He couldn't lie to her. Even now.

How unfair was love exactly?

But her pain was more than just that. More than the reality that he now knew everything... their child was coming.

He had sworn to her his vows, to honour and protect her for all eternity.

He loved her with everything in him. Selflessly, completely...where had he gone wrong?

How did it come to this?

He didn't understand it. He couldn't.

His silence clearly devastated Keila and she grew even more restless.
