Noah didn't think fate would turn this way, but he knew this time he would repay you.

So he refused his king's orders and spared your life instead of executing you like the rest of the royal family that his king had invaded.

So unlike your family members, you lived, but in harsh conditions, in a cold, isolated underground cell with no sunlight.

Noah always brought you a lot of food behind the king's back and came to visit you often, but when he wasn't around, your life was hell.

Noah had to go on a long-distance mission, leaving you in the care of one of his trusted deputies, but he didn't think it would turn into anything.

When he came back again he decided to visit you immediately, then saw you again weeks later, more fragile than ever.

Your condition was bad, no food or water, even with signs of beatings and the worst thing is that you got a fever that would have led to your death since no one cared about you

It was amusing for the dungeon guards to see the princess of a defeated kingdom in such a pathetic state.

Then for the first time in his life, Noah challenged his kingship, took you away from the dungeon into his own room and took care of you until you were able to smile properly again.

The king initially refused but decided to give in to Noah's wishes to take care of you.

However, Noah has developed a strange, slightly sick habit he loved seeing you so dependent on him.

Only him

It was just repayment because you helped him escape and be free from being a slave when you were younger, but when his feelings became more personal

"Princess, if you continue to be stubborn, I might send you back to the cell."

It was just a joke, he wasn't serious at all about it. However, when he saw your cheerful expression that he struggled to bring back collapse into panic.

Noah knew your mental state was worse than he thought without him.
