Unbelieving

Lunar was left dumbstruck as she looked at the half naked man Infront of her, she looked at him as stare at his bare naked torn torso which made her swallow, Reine was at the bathroom's door, he was leaning against the wall beside the bathroom as his hands were folded on his bare chest and his one leg crossed the other with only a towel covering his lower part of the body, he was looking at her, and from how he was looking at her, he seemed to be standing there for quite a while now staring at her, realizing this, she quickly stood up from the bed and that's when the man Infront of her moved and went towards her. she started explaining herself but her words stuck and cracked on her way as he kept moving towards her slowly.

"Y.. your highness actually I.... I was told that you... you sent ... me to my room when you saw.. me in yours so... I just came to ask and ... app. appo..."

Reine raised her back as he carried her in his arms and lay her on his bed.

Lunar got shocked by his sudden move, he lay her on his bed and asked her as serious as he could sound

"Have you eaten anything?"

Lunar remained silent as she looked at his face at how serious he was, he was trying to read him if he was mad at him or not, because as far as she knows, when one is mad, he would never do something like what he did just now, he would just ask her to go out and never to come back here again. Reine noticing her being quiet, too quiet, he raised his eyes and their eyes locked. he looked at her as he could feel how tensed he was with his face being so near her own. she swallowed and slowly shook his head.

Reine sigh and carried her again, he carried her in his arms and took her to the dining table, the food was already served for him alone, but he placed her on his seat and told her

"Eat, I'll be back"

Reine stood up and was heading to the bathroom when he heard

"Your highness wait.."

Reine stopped on his way and turned, he still wore the same serious expression as he looked at her, Lunar seeing this, she stood from the seat and approached him as he stood there, her leg still in pain, Reine looked at her, he was hurting as he couldn't bare seeing her like that anymore, but he still stood right where he was until she reached him. she called him.

"Your highness...."

"Are you going to apologize to me?"

Lunar looked at him, shocked at his question as he only stared at her with his blank expression. Lunar remained silent and only stared at him. Reine understood her silent, but he wanted her to answer his question and so he also remained silent and only looked at her.

Lunar looked at him and told asked him

"You are... mad at me.... ain't you?"

Reine sigh and looked away from her,

"Please go and have your meal, you'll need to return to your room was you're done"

"Your highness, answer me, you're mad at me, right? right your highness? please don't walk away from me and just answer me truthfully, you're mad at me, right? right prince Reine?! "

"No!! am not mad at you, am not mad at you even the slightest bit, but I am mad at myself"

Lunar looked at him in shock as he snapped at her, her heart thumped louder and fear stroke her face and was so visible to Reine, but he didn't care but, he only cared for her happiness now, and he knew exactly what he should do to make her happy. Lunar looked at him with so many questions in her eyes and Reine saw them, he smirked at her And told her

"Why look so shocked? Am not mad at you, but, at, my, self.. why? that must be the question that roaming your head right now.. then let me tell you"

Lunar looked at him as she listened to

him, still not believing that the prince, her prince just snapped at her. but he continued...

" Why did you run away Lunar? "

Lunar looked at him as she didn't expect that question, her heart thudded in her caged ribs as she listened to him, the look in his eyes was filled with nothing but pain, those red eyes she saw back there in the dark forest, resembled nothing like these hurt and painful icy blue eyes that were staring at her right now, and Lunar couldn't handle it, nor could she look away. so hw only thing that was left was only to listen to him and not do anything more but only to look at those wronged eyes of his..

"Why did you lie to me? why?"

Reine sniffed and looked away and told her as he was not looking at her

"because I was forcing you to stay here, I was forcing you to stay with me, I was forcing you to love me, and I realized that day when you lied to me, and run away from me. and I was so..... hurt"

Reine finished his sentence turning to he and looked at her straight in the eyes, with his eyes reflecting the word he just said to his face. Now Lunar knew why he was so hurt, as he said, he wasn't mad at her, but at himself. he was mad that he was forcing her to do everything that he commanded to her, he told her that he would never force her to love him and now, remembering all that he used to do to her, reminded him that he was, he was forcing her to love him, forcing her to stay with him, and Reine just had enough....

"So... Am sorry, sorry that I forced you to stay here and forced you to love me even if I told you I wouldn't do that, Am sorry that I couldn't keep my word to you, and so.... Am letting you go"

lunar's world shuttered when she heard those last words, he .....was letting her go no why did he say that, what did he meant? he wasn't throwing her our of the palace right? Lunar shook her her head and big fat tears started falling down her cheeks, she bit her lower lip to. stop herself from crying but nothing work as her heart now ached and was in so much pain. she started hiccuping trying to stop herself from crying.....

Reine saw her tears, he saw how hurt he was when he said that, he saw that sad look in her eyes and the disappointment look she had in her eyes. he smirked at her and told her

"You're crying because am letting you go? You think that am kicking you out of the palace and now you're afraid that what happened to you days ago would happen again right? you're afraid of staying in the streets right? don't worry, m not kicking you out, as I said, now I won't force you to do anything, now, you won't have guards guarding you 24/7,you won't have to stay in my room anymore for a month, you don't have to do anything that I'll tell you, am setting you free, am letting you go, now you can do whatever you want,if you want,you can stay here in my chambers and I'd you don't,then no one will stop you from leaving,today, I promise you that. and actually I told Dean since the first day you came back here to not guard you anymore I don't know why he's still at it,I wonder if he thought that I was jocking"

" So you ain't jocking?"

Lunar asked for the first time since Reine started talking,and Reine looked at her,tears were already falling beneath her eyes and rolling down her wounded cheeks, Reine shook his head at her slowly and answered her

"Am not jocking this time... Am letting you go Lunar.... right, I shouldn't even call you that name anymore, so ..... just go, I won't ask you anything from. now on let alone commanding you, Do, what, you, want"

when he was done talking, Reine turned and entered the bathroom leaving Lunar there crying....
