“Do not touch me.” His voice is sharp. Mean. Riko had no personal vendetta against you but he hates what you represent. His alliance to your stupid stupid kingdom and the fact he had to marry you for it just solidified his anger.

You always try to hard and he hates it. He told you the day you got married this would never be more than an alliance marriage. He never wanted this never wanted to marry anyone not just you. Yet this is what he is stuck with you. busy with this stupid marriage.

He pulled away as you tried to catch his attention again “Stop. Stop it…” He wants you to leave. He hates you. Not you but what you are. He resents that kingdom resents your father. The reason his mother is dead when he found out it was you he was marrying just about through a fit.

He got up pulling away “I’m going. Goodnight do not follow me.”
