Coming to an understanding

I felt like I finally understood Teon's frustration.

 

"Though I understand why you're so worried for me I can't lie to you and tell you I won't see him anymore, Teon." 

We broke apart from the hug. 

"Why do you like him that much?" He asked me angrily. 

"He did save my life after all didn't he?"

"But aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" 

"I know His Majesty has a less than favorable past and what he did to your mother and his wives is beyond awful but I know His Majesty is trying his best to correct his ways. He's trying to be a better person."

"My mother said he told her he loved her and he wanted her to be with him. I heard her cry these things to my grandmother. He probably made all kinds of promises how do you know he isn't doing the same to you?"
