"I want you to marry me.." Damien said while giving two pairs of rings to wear, as a form of proposal of the seriousness of his love. You were silent, then smiled and nodded.
Damien squealed happily and put the ring on your finger and kissed your arm softly. "I will love you, always.."
Two days later, Damien was given a task that he had to fight against the rebels in his territory. The Emperor ordered Damien to do his job, Damien could only obey, as a useful Duke, he had to obey orders.
Before leaving, Damien came to you and hugged you tightly while saying. "Wait for me, I will come back and marry you."
After that, Farewell comes, Damien must go and you must accept it. You will always pray for Damien's safety and hope that Damien will come home soon.
Three years later, the Knights and Dukes returned from the Territory, Damien managed to bring victory to defend their territory. But Damien's attitude has now changed completely.
Damien walked slowly while holding a stick to help him walk. Damien looked down. Even though everyone was cheering happily, Damien was embarrassed by himself.
You stopped Damien's footsteps, you stood in front of him. "You're home.. I missed you.." You cried, then stepped forward, intending to hug Damien.
"Don't come near me!" Damien shouted in annoyance.
"Get out of my sight! Don't look at me and don't touch me!" Damien shouted again in front of you, his eyes staring at you sharply. Damien is ashamed, Damien failed to be the perfect man for you, Damien doesn't want you to love a man who now has many shortcomings.
"What? Please don't be like this.. you promised to keep loving me.."
Damien shook his head. He really wanted to say I still love you but he only said it silently. "That's not the case anymore." Damien took off the ring he was wearing and threw it away. "We're not getting married."
Damien then walks past you. Damien wants you to love another man, a man who can walk on two legs and had no wounds on his face.
