Tipu. Berdebah!
kau cakap kecewa,
tapi buktinya,
kau senyum,
kau bercanda sesama mereka,
kau ketawa,
apa benar kau kecewa?
atau suka,
konpius aku,
tapi aku suka,
tengok kau mulai ketawa,
mungkin bersamaku,
susah untuk kau rasa begini,
oh ya!
atau mungkin ,
tawa kau hanyalah kamuflase dari airmata,
kata-kata itu,
buat aku teringat,
saat kau disini dulu,
mengisi kosongnya hariku,
seperti kosongnya otak aku,
bila kau tiada lagi temani aku,
suka aku,
duka aku,
kau tak ambil tahu,
kau tak peduli,
atau kau peduli?
tapi berdiam diri,
kemana kau sembunyi diri,
mohon keluar,
aku tak makan oranglah!
cuma ada sesuatu yang aku ingin bisik,
jangan tanya apa,
keluar dulu.

She forces herself to ignore their connection, determined to be more than a general's wife, only for her father to manipulate her into a political engagement with a man she could never love. So to forge her own path forward, keep her throne, and confront her feelings for the general who owns her heart, Reyna must find a way to refuse this arranged marriage without destroying her kingdom in the process.
