"You're... joking right?"
"I'm sorry, Reiner, I'm sorry..." The Queen grabbed his shirt. Reiner did not know how to respond, this was too sudden. His brain was blank, and his chest throbbed with pain.
"How come ... you accepted his fiance?"
"I never accepted it, I was forced by Father to accept the fiancee," sobbed the Queen.
Ah ... that was it. He knew that this was bound to happen. What could Historia expect from a warrior like him? After all, he was the enemy. Their thrones were worlds apart, like heaven and earth. Historia, who had always been by his side, had never reached him. What should he do now? At least he was self-aware enough to know his position, he didn't deserve Historia. Reality had slapped him enough and now he would never cross the line again. Retreat was better, and he would do it.
Reiner gripped Historia's crown, then looked away. He was not angry with Historia at the moment, he was just hurt that after all these years of fighting for their love, fate was not on his side. His love was dashed this very day. How tragic ...
"Forgive me ..." Once again, his ears heard the Queen's sorrowful words. Gently, he embraced the queen and calmed her down.
"It's not your fault, please stop apologizing like this." That was all he could say before standing up. In fact, he was speechless at the moment. Her heart hurt too much, a pain that could not be expressed.
Before leaving, he took the ring he had given her earlier from Historia's ring finger. Despite Historia's refusal, the blonde man insisted on calling her back, causing the Queen to be frightened by her lover's cold gaze. The pair of sea-blue eyes watched Reiner's every move, as the man was installing the 3D Manuevergeur device on his body before descending.
"W-we can elope then!"
The Queen's words brought Reiner's movements to a halt. Without turning his head, Reiner replied in a low voice that sounded frightening, but also painful. "I never wanted to put you in danger, or create a third war just because of the two of us."
Silent, the queen could not answer Reiner's question, just for now. Reiner's words had a point. If their love was forbidden, why did God build a magnificent feeling of love in each other's souls? Must it run aground just like that? Tears were still flowing down those white cheeks. She wanted so badly to stop her beloved and do anything so that they could get married.
"Reiner, please ... don't leave me."
Nonsense, even the one who left Reiner was the Queen herself. A small chuckle escaped from her mouth, sounding painful. A single tear finally fell. After trying to be strong in front of the Queen, that feeling finally came out too. His fragile side was exposed.
