Why is the best food always forbidden?

"He's what...? I need to go see him!" What a dumb daughter I have

"Don't you dare... you'll sit right here and do as I say!" I can't just let her ruin her life for a traitor's son

"But mother please... I have to see how he's doing!" I can't believe how crazy she has gone.. just few nights with him she's has turned into something else

"Enough! You've had your last moment together two days ago didn't you? Don't you for once think I don't know about your schemes!" That was enough to drop her guard down, but then again I don't want to see her look so pitiful

"Mother, will father kill him?" She looks so hopeless... I can't say for sure what Cedric would actually do to him. But for someone that has gone nuts because of his daughter... killing Alex is actually the mosy merciful thing he can do to him, considered their past!

My silence made her weak in the knees...what kind of portion did this bastard mixed in for my daughter... she's gone vegetable mode...

"Your highness..!" ...this is bad...

"What is it...? What's mu father's judgement?" Restlessness,hope and bitterness filled her eyes,her grip on the guard was getting tight and her nails piercing his skin

"Unhand him!" She slowly back away trying to keep calm but the words that fell turned her upside down

"The gladiator room....? Father's going to torture him...for something I...." She was about to spill the beans

"Cannery....!!! Keep calm..! You can go!"

Dismissing the guard, I watched her cry, I forbade her from seeing him. Having fed her some sleeping portion and locking her up to avoid any other mess... I proceed to see him.

"Your highness!" He wasn't expecting me..or maybe he knows

"Alexander I presume,my daughter's crazy love spell. I should give it to you... you're really good in holding her senses!"

" Forgive me if she has done something out of turn!"

"And what's that?"

"Falling in love with me! We both didn't see it coming and we didn't resist!"

"Whatever it is you both share has to stop now. While you will continue this charade and end it when you see fit. I know with the look in your eyes that you do love her... this is the only thing you can do for her now!"

"Without you saying this I've already made up my mind to protect her at all cost,even if giving my life away. Though I've seen a little light but it doesn't look like hope.

Please tell her to forget about me and continue to live on as she would forever be in my heart. And of all I didn't regret helping her... I'll do it over and over again!"

That was the assurance I need...

The rest is in the hands of fate.
