Chapter Twenty-One
I was relieved as I walked slowly towards the King's room. I think my breathing has become more relaxed now than it has been these days because I finally confessed my feelings for Alvaro.
It has not been easy for me to be true to myself but that’s the only opportunity I have. I can also say that of all the decisions I have made in my entire life, that is what I don’t regret.
I realized that all the meaningful words that Varri uttered were right. The things she advised me really stuck in my mind.
You forgot how heavy it was every time you chose to be true to yourself.
Alvaro didn’t respond after my confession but I knew he was surprised. I’m not complaining, though. And even more so I don’t have to hear what he will answer because first of all, I didn’t ask anything.
