“Come here and let me hold you quickly, Karen. You’re so beautiful today, my dear.”
Kareina doubted her own ears at Raul’s gentle voice.
“His Majesty has lost his memories. He only remembers Her Majesty the Empress.”
He remembers nothing. Not even that she had begged him to kill her.
“I should have killed you long ago, but you stabbed me in the back with that innocent face.”
“That’s why when I begged you to kill me, you should have just done it.”
“Kareina, you cannot die. I can’t waste the princess of a ruined kingdom who still has her uses.”
He says they should start over. When they never properly started anything.
Despite Raul’s gift offensive that comes without missing a single day, Kareina knows.
When his memories return, Raul will carve out her heart with cold eyes just like before.
