Chapter 96

• “If you stay around the king, the elders are going to turn against him once they find out what you are, you have to get out of his life and not make him lose everything he worked hard for just because you are selfish, Lancelot might not see it but you being around him will guarantee his removal from the throne, why aren’t you seeing things from my point of view? Do you think I enjoy doing this? Do you think I don’t like seeing my best friend happy? I am not the devil but this is a case where we can’t win if we don’t bend to the rules, not only Lancelot, but the whole kingdom will suffer great consequences if you stubbornly choose to hold on to him,”
• Patrick voiced out each word in frustration, even though Sophie told herself not to let his words get to her, she couldn’t stop it. Everything he was saying made sense, and were things she already thought about but she somehow deluded herself into thinking just love would be enough to keep her and Lance together, she couldn’t keep on believing that when it was their reality from the beginning.
• “You are finally seeing reasons with me? Sophie, we have to sacrifice things for things to work out and you being away from the king would help him greatly, think about it as doing a favor for someone you love, if he loses the throne, think about it, he might not blame you now but you damn well know that a day will come when he would regret everything that happened and even the love you think you both share right now will not be able to keep the relationship going, do you really think you can live with the guilt of knowing being with you made him lose everything?”
