You could never understand why he ever chose you.

What was so captivating about you? Why would he ever bother with choosing you as his companion. Out of all the orphans, why you?

Whenever you asked, you had gotten the same answer. Silence. He never said why. Not even to his father.

Ever since you had been exiled from your kingdom, by your own father, you had been lonely. Even after arriving to Phthia, everyone seemed to be distancing themselves from you. How could they not? You didn't have anything to offer, really. But still. You couldn't help but be mesmerised by his beauty. The way he held himself so elegantly, how he spoke in such a soft and melodic voice, how his eyes shone whenever they caught a glimpse of you.

He seemed to be mesmerised by you too.
