"What do you mean?"
Seraphina asked as she stared at Kethan with confusion written all over her face. She was trying to understand if his words carried some sort of trick behind them or if he was being serious.
She watched as he inhaled deeply before reaching out to take hold of her hand. He interwined their fingers together before finally speaking - "I just can't help but wonder if we even deserve happiness. At least it's the case for the four of us. We failed in our every single duty. We can't even protest that our current life is unfair."
His gaze was fixed on their locked hands and his voice was soft as he spoke. In that moment, he looked nothing like the Fourth Shadow Lord whom she met during the first wedding ceremony three months ago.
Seeing him looking so lost and questioning himself, she felt a sudden pain within her heart.
She immediately reached out to cup his face with her free hand and made him look up at her face.
