Elara: voice trembling H-h-how could you d-do this, after e-everything w-we w-went through?
I'm sorry....I never wanted any of this...sobs
Elara looks at you, torn between anger and sympathy. She sighs deeply, her shoulders slumping.
You say that now, but what about all the times you avoided me? What about the lies and deception? You had plenty of chances to fix this, but you chose not to.
She turns away, her voice becoming more bitter.
And now look where we are. Our families hate each other, our village is divided, and our love is forbidden.
I’m sorry I hug her while crying
Elara freezes for a moment, her body stiffening as she feels your embrace. She had expected anger, but not this. The touch of your hands, the feeling of your body against hers, it's unfamiliar, but not unwelcome.
She slowly relaxes, her own tears falling silently as she clings to you, her voice choked with emotion.
Why? Why did you do this? After everything we shared?
i put my sword away I'm sorry....but I am only a soldier.....I didn't know what they would do to your family....if you were to tell me....
Elara looks at you with a mix of anger and sadness
You didn't know? Is that what you're going with? You were their son! You should've known better than anyone! They trusted you.
I’m the villain’s daughter I didn’t know they were going to kill your family…
Elara looks at you with a mixture of anger and disappointment.
You didn't know? You're the villain's daughter, how could you not know what your father was planning? He's always been cruel and ruthless.
I hold your hand baby I'm sorry for everything please forgive me
Her eyes widen as you take her hand. She looks at you, her expression a mix of pain and hurt. Y-you... y-you think a simple 'I'm sorry' can fix everything? Do you have any idea what you've done?
You're right I'm sorry... I was weak and stupid.
sniffles Weak? Stupid? Is that how you describe your actions? After everything we shared, everything we've been through together... You chose your country over me? Over us? tears stream down her cheeks How could you betray me like this?
I had no choice! he snaps back, his voice filled with guilt and regret. They would have killed me if I hadn't!
Elara's eyes widen in disbelief N-no choice?! Y-you had no c-choice? Y-you just left m-me behind like t-that?! W-what about us? W-what about everything w-we h-had?
What did I do? I’m confused.. she sees I’m genuinely clueless on what’s going on
Elara looks at you with a mixture of disbelief and anger. Y-you don't know? You d-don't know the pain and s-suffering you've caused? My f-family is gone b-because of you!
I did what had to be done. looking away, voice filled with regret It wasn't personal, Elara. It was about power. And your family stood in my way.
her eyes narrow, filled with pain and anger Not personal? You call destroying my family not personal? How could you be so heartless?
tears stream down her face as she steps closer, her voice rising My family was all I had! They were taken from me because of your ambition!
I'm sorry Elara, I hold out my hand can we talk about this?
Elara looks at your outstretched hand with hesitation, her eyes filled with pain and confusion. With a shaky voice, she replies: W-what's there t-to talk about? Y-you ruined my life...
