Kade knew he was a fool in love. Once war was declared, Lina would be known as the enemy within Ritan's walls. Loving her was as good as abandoning his loyalty to Ritan. It was unfortunate that he didn't care.
Kade let out a small sigh. She was an even greater fool if she thought she could run. Lina was going to hate him for the rest of her life. She was never going to love him again. He did not care. So long as she was by his side, that was enough for him.
Thus, Kade twirled her dagger in his hand. The dagger was encrusted in jewels and gold. She didn't take it with her. That foolish wife of his.
"...ten, eleven...fifteen..." Kade lazily sat underneath his window.
Kade closed his eyes. He tossed the dagger up and down. His skillful fingers caught it each time.
"Twenty."
