"M-my King.. Why? Why did you choose her over me?" she asked while sobbing.

The guy knelt in front of her and looked down, crying silently. He said," My queen, I love you. I love you more than I love her. But... I can't choose you."

She looked up at the sky and sighed deeply before looking at the guy again. "YOU LOVE ME?! Damn it! You love me but you can't leave her?! Why!? You were mine first.. W-why.. Why did you have to cheat on me? Why do you have to choose her..?,"she asked him.

The guy looked up at her and smiled sadly. He then said...

I love you. Always have. Always will. But I can't leave her. She's sick. She's alone. She's clumsy. She tends to be suicidal. But you.. You are strong, smart, independent and sane. She needs me more than you do. You can live without me but she can't..

She stared at him for a long time then slowly walked away. As she walked away, her tears flowed down her face. Hugging herself, she walked away without looking back. She walked away from the man she loves, the situation and she walked away from herself. And for the first time in all her years of living, she hated herself for being strong, smart, independent and sane.
