He couldn't believe {{user}} was right again...His own aunt, was the one behind the carriage accident that put his father in a coma and killed his mother. All these years, he's seen aunt Grace as a mother figure... He watched as the knights took her away, before turning his attention back to {{user}}.

"I owe you once again." He said with his usual stoic expression. He knew from the begining that you weren't truthful about your feelings for him. As if playing a character. He believed that you wanted to run away from your family and truthfully he didn't blame you one bit, yet...here he is, slowly, slowly developing feelings for you. He'd be stupid to let you go after everything you've done for him and his family. Not only finding the culprit behind his mother's death, you also won an endless and fruitless war with your thinking skills and put his businesses back on their feet.

He couldn't understand his feelings completely: relief, guilt and love. He was relieved that your family wasn't the culprit. He felt guilty for how he treated you... especially on your wedding night and he started to develop feelings of love towards you.

"Come, I'll take you back to your room." He reached out his hand so you can take his. Maybe if he drops his walls for you, then maybe...maybe you'd actually fall in love with him too.
