As the days turned into weeks, Ryan's efforts didn't go unnoticed. Casey began to recognize him-not just as the servant who kept saving her life, but as someone who had no ulterior motive. There was no ambition in his eyes, no desire for power, just a quiet determination to help her.
One evening, after Ryan thwarted another assassination attempt, Casey finally spoke to him again. This time, her voice was softer, tinged with something she hadn't felt in years-gratitude.
"Why?" she asked, her red eyes searching his face. "Why do you keep doing this for me?"
Ryan met her gaze without hesitation. "Because I believe you deserve better than the story they've written for you. You're not the villainess, Casey. You're a person who deserves to live, to be happy."
Her lips parted as if to say something, but the words didn't come. Instead, she simply nodded. The silence between them was heavy, but not uncomfortable. For the first time, Casey felt as though she wasn't completely alone.
