Would she have done anything differently since she met him? Of course she would. She would have done a number of things differently, but the answer to his follow up question would still be a ‘yes’. It would always be a ‘yes’.

But why was he asking her this question all of a sudden? Was this some kind of trial to see if she was remorseful about what she had done? Should she tell him the truth and risk angering him?

She tested the water first by asking, “Are you going to be angry with me if I give you an answer you don’t like?”

He was smiling down at her. “I promise I won’t be angry. Tell me honestly, would you?”

She didn’t get the feeling that he was testing her so she gave him her honest answer. “I would.”

Amara knitted her brows together. Instead of being upset by her answer, Noctis seemed extremely pleased. “Even when you know you would go through so much hardship? Even when you are afraid of me?”

“…I’m not afraid of you anymore.” She was afraid of him in the beginning, but she wasn’t afraid of him anymore. “Why did you lead me out here and ask me this all of a sudden?”

He placed both of his hands behind his head and leaned back to enjoy the view of the newly planted garden. He took in a deep breath and said, “I have a bad headache and some fresh air would do me good.”

He claimed that he was having a bad headache, but it didn’t seem like it to her. She hadn’t seen his facial expression this relaxed since, well, ever. He looked like a very busy man who had just taken a huge burden off his shoulders and finally learned to enjoy the moment. It must have had something to do with that blonde woman. They were speaking the same language, a dead language, so they must have known each other. Amara felt left out during breakfast, but she didn’t mind until she saw this expression on his face. She had never been able to inspire such an expression in him before.

“Do you know that blonde woman?” Amara asked even when she knew he did.

He nodded.

“Aren’t you going to tell me who she is?”

“No,” he said plainly without looking at her.

“Why not?”

He didn’t say.

Amara realized she had been asking him the wrong questions, so she changed to a more direct approach. “Who is that woman?”

“Rion.”

“Is that her name?”

“Yes.”

“Did she come here to look for you?”

“Yes.”

He was beginning to frustrate her with his single word answers, so she skipped the rest of her questions and went in for the coup de grace. “Who is that woman in relation to you?”

He lowered his gaze to her. “Must you ask this question?”

The way he was deflecting that question made her feel uneasy. She nodded.

“If you must know,” he said solemnly, “Rion is the woman I wedded when I was still a mortal man.”
