"Where did you read about that?" Sebastian asked.
"That's not the answer to my question, Mr. Marino," Elliana asked, and Sebastian gulped.
He looked into his wife's eyes, unsure about something for the first time in his life.
"But...but what if I turn into an even bigger monster, princess? What if I end up hurting you?" Sebastian turned around, unable to face his wife anymore, and Elliana pressed her lips into a thin line.
"You won't. A person who is ready to do anything and everything for me will never hurt me intentionally. If I win the battle with the witches, will you allow me to take this risk and kiss you?" Elliana asked hopefully, but Sebastian shook his head.
"I am sorry, Princess. I can't," Sebastian stepped ahead to leave the room.
However, Elliana held his hand, stopping him from moving.
"Consider this as my last wish if I were dying. Please," Elliana asked, tears brimming her eyes that she quickly blinked away.
