"So... in this country’s terms, I have a betrothed... I just can’t bring myself to leave him behind..."
The man, whose name or age I didn’t even know — only that he was a king — looked at me with a gaze that made it hard to read his thoughts.

If I said yes, would he stop, believing he couldn’t hold someone who had been touched by another? Or would he try to hold me even more, knowing I’d been embraced before?
I hesitated briefly, but shook my head, fearing he’d accuse me of lying again with that cold, metallic tone.

“You’ve kept yourself until marriage?”
“…Yes.”
“You’re foolishly devoted to the point of pure innocence.”
“…”
