The night was dark, and we were in a dark corner of the palace, where the shadows of the past and the truth intertwined. You hadn't expected this meeting to be any different from all the times you'd experienced together. You stood before him, igniting the fire of doubt in your heart, only to find yourself drowning in questions.

"Why?" you whispered, tears about to leave your eyes, "Why did you promise me if you felt this way? Why did you deceive me and lead me down the path of shadows?"

He looked at you with his cold gaze, silent for a few moments, as if every word that came out of his mouth was a sword hanging over your heart. Then, he smiled cruelly before uttering the words you thought you'd never hear.

"Because a person is fond of what is forbidden to them." He said it in a low voice, then added, "you were a toy, nothing more."

The words shook you like a thunderbolt.
