Neifar's p.o.v
Hythan was standing in my tent looking at me in shock.
"You did what?!" He asked loudly for the fourth time.
"I let the princess go" i answered lowly.
"Brother letting go of her people is okay, but why would you let her go?" He asked.
I sighed lowly knowing very well why i had done that.
"Its because i like her, when i hurt her physically and she cried out, i felt horrible, i then realized she was the first woman i never want to see her suffer, her cry made my heart ache, i can never force her to accept me, i could see the fear in her eyes, forcing her would have made things worse" i answered seriously.
"Brother aren't you the one who taught me to hit woman and use threats to have them stay loyal to me forever?" He asked as i moved my hand and brushed my hair slowly.
"I did, and now i realise i was so wrong" i answered lowly.
"Letting her go won't change anything Neifar, she will still hate you, better still she will forget you, you will be nothing but a shadow or memory to her" he said.
"I know" i answered.
"Neifar just think about it more, she's the first woman to ever get your attention, you desire her, is letting her go the best choice? Just give me your word i will get her back for you" he said seriously.
"Hythan what's wrong with you? Are you planning to disobey me? Let her just go" i yelled.
"I'm sorry brother, i went out of line" he said softly.
"Go and make sure no one lays a finger on her, send someone to follow her secretly and make sure she reaches her land safely, if anyone dares to hurt her i will kill them, now leave i want to be left alone" i said loudly.
"Yes, rest well" he said then walked out.
I lay down sadly, i still couldn't believe what i felt towards her, she was rude, stubborn and a fighter but i just couldn't stop myself from liking her.
"My lord" sheila called outside the tent.
"Come in" i answered.
She slowly got in and sat down next to me.
"I'm sure you are very angry and frustrated, if you want you can take out your frustration on me, i wont mind, let me take care of your desire and urges for you" she said as i sat upright and faced her.
"If you don't want that, you can talk to me about whatever is bothering you, i will listen to all your problems" she whispered as i felt bad.
"Sheila I'm sorry" i said honestly.
Her eyes widened in shock, this was the second time i had apologized to a woman.
"I know you love me a lot even though i ignored you, i knew very well how you felt about me, today i have understood how much i have hurt you, but no matter what i can't love you, you are very nice and kind but my heart doesn't belong to you" i said honestly.
"Then who does it belong to? Does it belong to her?" She asked lowly.
"Yes" i answered.
"But my lord, she will never come back, she hates you" she said as i smiled.
"I know, i don't want her to love me back, I'm actually grateful to her, for the first time in my life I'm feeling different emotions, sheila forgive me but i really can't be with you no matter how much i think of you" i said honestly.
She slowly stood up and smiled.
"I understand, thank you for taking your time in telling me this, i will finally give up on you" she answered then went out of my tent.
