"Get the keys."
"Yes, your highness..."
Annika locked herself inside the bath of our chamber. For hours not a single servant had convince her to step out of the cold room. Only the faint sound of her weeping can be heard.
For how many times I tried to convince her as well but it seems that her senses were shut.
I left and returned for a number of times and still...
The faint weeps continued.
Anne gently patted my arm.
"I'm sorry..."
I gently patted her hand which rested on my arm.
"It's not your fault. It would be better for you to put a distance between us from now on Anne. We can't be seen like this. We both know that one wrong move could strip you off from your job. I don't want that to happen... you know...this isn't what I want for the both of us."
She stepped away and bowed.
"I will take my leave, your highness."
I didn't watch Anne leave our chamber... I focused on the heavy locked door that separates us from a pained princess. The moment the keys were handed to me, I didn't waste time and unlocked the door.
I found her curled up on the cold ivory floor of the huge bath. I didn't have to wonder why the weeping stopped...she fell asleep, exhausted from crying for hours. When I gently took her to my arms, I felt how cold her skin was. She wore a dainty teal dress with a low back line which beautifully exposed her skin. I gently wiped the almost dry tears on her captivating face and once again, felt guilt, crawling within me...
I recalled our conversation not so long ago...
Those days when our relationship was smooth enough for us to be friends in a marriage.
I always reminded her of the position we need to carry out.
"We can always maintain our royal flare but behind the palace doors, you're just a vessel to produce my heir. Let's be friends and not destroy each other."
A fixed smile remained on my face...
But what she said next, I didn't expect.
"I wish...we can be more than that, Seokjin."
I didn't know how to respond to her. For a woman who is soon to be my wife and I have no feelings for, what should I say?
"Who knows."
I really didn't know what to say.
