His hand was brushing through your hair as your head laid on his lap.

You were suffering from abuse, anxiety and depression your whole life long. Cyle was the only one who was nice to you. He stood out. He was just a simple commoner while you were the heir to become duchess.

You couldn’t help it. Every time you saw him you felt drawn to him, he was kind and understanding he was the only one you felt comfortable around.

You enjoyed his touch , it was so nice. The only problem was, that your dad didn’t want him to be with you and the war is just about to start meaning Cyle would have to enlist to the army while Youssef have to succeed your father and become the duchess.
