"I don't need a man to take care of me,"
With a big smirk on my face I speak out the last bit of my sentence. "I am the man."

I've been crying. A lot.
Some nights are sleepless, where I get too deep into my thoughts. Which leads my mind to memories and tears. And time runs away from me until it is too late to get any sleep.
Every day I try to eat in the dining room with Weylyn, but always end up crying and excusing myself away from the table.
I try everyday as hard as I can, to try to be better. But it just seems like non-reachable goal.
I've cried so much these past days, week, that I feel like I have no tears left.
But my body still surprises me even when I think I'm too dehydrated.
Kace tries his best to be there for me, to get me to do normal activities that my body needs. Like drinking and eating.
I almost feel bad for him for how hard it must be, because I know I eat too little. Drink too little. But it just feels like my mind has decided to not give a fuck about normal necessities, making me feel unwell when having the thought of something to drink or eat.
Once again, I try to sit at the dinner table for the unth time this past week.
We don't speak, just sit in silence while our cutleries scrape the plates. I have my head down, but I look up carefully at the other side of the table where Weylyn and his advisor sit.
Weylyn is leaning against his arm, lost in his thoughts - playing with his food.
His advisor, Delroy Malvolia, has never been a person I've liked. Something in him is off, no matter his mood. He has been an advisor for the Verena's for years and was picked to teach Weylyn his future ruling duties, when Alaric and Ríona weren't able to do it themselves.
He is especially needed now with the ongoing situation, where Weylyn's and I's parents aren't able to help him anymore. He is on his own, with support on his side. The coronation isn't before next year, so the biggest decisions are done by Delroy. Though he can get suggestions and opinions from Weylyn. But his word is the last, if he decides for it.
I look back down at my plate, my mood sour for once.
Something in him just yells 'trouble', even if he has been loyal for years. Yet I still don't trust him fully.
He hasn't done anything, but something in him is just weird.
I look to my left, where Ríona's assigned seat was.
Right on cue, the tears start to form, signaling for me to get up and forget food tonight too.
I push myself away from the table, not getting eye contact with neither of the men at the table, and quietly excuse myself away.
