Ren sat there, tilting his head in whatever direction Kade was moving in the kitchen.
Marshal had heated the food Ren cooked but did not eat. Adding the salad to the plate, Kade came toward Ren.
"You remember it all, Si wang."
Kade's steps halted for a brief moment before he continued walking, "I do, and you? How much do you recall, my god?"
"Ah, I remember you going to His Majesty's palace." Ren smiled at the nervous Si Wang. "I also remember you saving me from Wei Ling Sheng."
Kade put the plate on the counter before dropping to his knees. The loud noise of his bones hitting the cold floor startled Ren.
"I am sorry. I am so sorry," Kade dropped his head to Ren's dangling feet. "You have to bear all these reincarnations because of that marriage oath, and that one boon you gave. All of it just because of me."
Ren felt something wet sliding down his feet. He wanted to get down and hold his lover, but some invisible force kept him there.
