"My muse, I'm sorry, for lying"

When he told me those words, I felt like my world had stopped, is this why I always had felt something was wrong?

Is this why I think that something is not right?

But why did I believed him when he told me he was the real one?

"Why..." I started, trying to find the right words to say, "...Why did you lie?" I manage to let out, I don't know why tears are starting to fall down from my eyes,

"To protect you, I had to lie that I'm him, so you won't be tempted to marry him, I want you to focus on me" he explained, as he then cupped his hands in my face, I tried to maintain a straight look, but my tears kept on falling,

I then remembered how angry he was when I told him about me planning to marry the King, as he always repeated to remind me not to marry the King,

But... the King has pure intentions for me, he never hid things from me unlike him,

My mind is a mess, I don't know who to believe, whether it's the man in front of me who has been constantly lying to me, or the one who has always been honest to me,

"My Muse, please don't marry him, I beg of you" he pleaded to me, as he then started to kneel in the ground,

"Why?" I uttered hoping for an answer but he just shook his head, not wanting to answer me, not wanting to tell me anything,

Why?

Why he always kept on giving unanswered answers, why can't he just directly told me why I can't be in the northern kingdom,

Is this about how he will be jealous?

Jealous that I'll be married to the man who has pure intentions for me?

"He's gonna be the end of you, the Northern Kingdom, is a place where you will never be accepted, you'll be humiliated by the people there" he explained as I scoffed, couldn't believe that he had to make up an excuse

Why can't he just tell me?

"I see, thank you for telling me, but I don't think I can stop myself from marrying the king" I told him as I then turn my back away from him,

"Alyssa! You can't!"

"Alyssa!"

"Please just listen!"

I didn't stop and walk away from him, and I don't know why tears kept on spilling, is this because I'm hurt that he kept on lying to me?

I stopped in my tracks as I saw the King, he is waiting patiently for me and Kian to come back when finish talking,

"My lady," he says as I only ignored him and continue to walk away, tears kept on falling from my eyes and I don't know why, as I was about to leave, King Frederick held my wrist, he had his eyes widen when seeing the tears in my eyes,

And before I know it, he pulled me into a tight embrace, and I felt warm...

"There, there... you can continue to cry" he says, as he then caress my back making not able to contain my tears, as if he understands my feelings...

"I'm sorry for showing up late, if I were to tell you sooner things wouldn't have become like this" he whispered in my ear, as I kept on crying, feeling my heart broken and I don't understand why, as if I had feelings for Kian...

Wait...

Do I have feelings for him?!?

The reason why I'm sad it's because he told me he is not Lex?

Or am I just confuse that he is Lex?

That's why I am so sad right now because he pretended to be someone I love...

I can't understand it anymore!!!

Why can't my heart tell me directly?

Why can't my heart speak who do I want?

"Let's go to my Kingdom, you will be safe there" he says, as my golden eyes looked at his sky blue orbs, looking intently at each other...

"I... I need to think it first" I uttered, my heart kept on reacting  and I don't know what it meant, whether I am happy that he had proposed again? Or I am sad that he had proposed and I need to leave the kingdom I love,

"I understand, even though I've given you enough time to think, but I understand you" he says, letting out a small smile towards me,

"Remember, I love you, and I always had loved you, even if I did many horrible things to you... but please keep in mind, I love you with all my heart" he says, as my heart started to react, and once again I couldn't understand what it is trying to say,

"I...I know" I uttered, doesn't know what to respond to his sudden confession, even if i had heard it for million of times now,

Hearing my response, he let out a small smile as he pulled me to a tight hug again, as I didn't realize that I hugged him back...

"Then...Can I Kiss You?"

Hearing those words, I froze, as I slowly looked up to him, until something or someone caught my eye, I looked at his back and saw Kian, frozen in his spot, which I presume he had heard the King's words...

"Pardon?"

Hearing my response, he let out a light chuckle, and before I can ask what he meant, he pulled me closer, till I lips touched...

I had my eyes widen, and I took a glance at Kian who suddenly turn his back away from us... and I could feel my heart breaking...
