Lothaire didn't even want to think of the words she had said. It was as if she had already accepted her fate of dying in the process of the war about to start with the sorcerers but she was more worried about what would happen to him after her death. Larisa could see the denial in his eyes, he would never be ready to accept her dying, not when he was still alive.

"I won't let you die." He said firmly and she could see his eyes filled with promises that he would protect her no matter what.

"I know you won't." She said faintly as she stared deep into his blazing eyes which held dangerously strong emotions.

"But?" He asked, he knew she wanted to say more and he knew exactly what was on her mind.
